Napoli have signed Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United on a permanent deal for a \u20ac50million fee after a successful loan spell, both clubs have announced.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Hojlund scored 16 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions last season, helping Napoli win the Supercoppa Italiana and finish runners-up in Serie A.<\/p>\n

The forward joined United from Atalanta in 2023 and went on to score 26 goals in 95 appearances for the Premier League club.<\/p>\n

He was also part of the United squad that lifted the FA Cup in May 2024, coming on as a substitute in the final against Manchester City at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Hojlund returned to Italy at the start of the 2025-26 campaign on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n

“Everyone at the club would like to wish Rasmus all the very best for the future,” United said in a statement.<\/p>\n
