Napoli have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United this summer.
Hojlund has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with the rumours intensifying following the arrival of Benjamin Sesko in a £74million deal with RB Leipzig. The striker was not included in the matchday squad for the Premier League defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, fuelling the speculation even more.
United are willing to accept a fee in the region of £30million for Hojlund this summer, and AC Milan have been credited with an interest in signing the forward.
But now Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Napoli have expressed an interest in signing Hojlund this summer.
The report claims that the reigning Serie A champions have held talks with United and Hojlund’s representatives over a deal to sign the Denmark international.
It has been suggested that a move could be a loan deal, although it seems that Hojlund would want to remain at Napoli beyond this season if a move were to be completed.
During United’s pre-season tour of the United States, Hojlund made it clear that he still believed that he had a future at Old Trafford despite the ongoing speculation of a potential exit.
“I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot, whatever happens,” said Hojlund earlier this summer.
“Competition is fine with me, it sharpens me. I’m more than ready. I’m feeling sharp, so I’m welcoming everything that comes.”
