Recent reports indicate that Manchester United`s forward, Rasmus Hojlund, is keen on making a return to Italy`s Serie A league this summer. AC Milan has reportedly initiated discussions with the former Atalanta player regarding a potential transfer.
Hojlund`s future at Manchester United appears uncertain after a less than stellar performance in his initial two years at Old Trafford. His position in the squad is no longer guaranteed, especially with a recent change in coaching staff and the arrival of potentially two or three new offensive players. He originally transferred from Atalanta for a significant fee of €75 million, with an additional €10 million in potential bonuses, during Erik Ten Hag`s tenure.
AC Milan, on the other hand, is reportedly poised to make a move for the Danish international. The Rossoneri are actively seeking a new forward to provide competition and rotation options alongside Santiago Gimenez, who is currently their sole senior striker.
Is Hojlund a Preferred Option Over Vlahovic for Milan?
Although Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus has been a prominent target for Milan, there`s a growing likelihood that Hojlund could become available for a reduced transfer fee later in the window, making him an increasingly attractive option.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan might favor Hojlund over Vlahovic, primarily due to the substantial difference in their respective salary demands, which could make the Danish striker a more financially viable choice.
Further reports from “The Pink Paper” confirm Hojlund`s strong desire to return to Serie A this transfer period, noting that initial discussions with AC Milan have been largely positive and encouraging for a potential move.
It is reported that Manchester United would consider offers for Hojlund this window, likely in the region of €34.3 million (£30 million) to €38.9 million (£34 million), indicating a willingness to negotiate his departure.
