Reports indicate that Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as Napoli`s top transfer target, especially after AC Milan shifted their focus to Victor Boniface.
Napoli`s search for a new striker has intensified following the news that Romelu Lukaku will be sidelined for three to four months due to a thigh injury.
This situation necessitates further investment in the attacking line. While other candidates, including Andrea Pinamonti from Sassuolo, are being considered, Hojlund has consistently remained at the top of Napoli`s wishlist for the past two days.
Hojlund: Napoli`s Primary Choice
Negotiations between Napoli, Manchester United, and the player`s representatives are escalating, especially now that AC Milan has shifted its attention to Bayer Leverkusen`s striker Boniface.
Napoli is reportedly pushing for a loan deal without an obligation to buy, actively working on a structure that would be agreeable to all parties involved.
Unlike their rivals, Napoli can also offer Hojlund Champions League football this season. The striker has faced challenges since his €80 million plus bonus transfer from Atalanta in August 2023.
