According to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli told MU that they are willing to put the terms of purchase obligations into the contract agreement with Rasmus Hojlund.
The Serie A champion is looking for a new striker before the summer transfer period ends due to Romelu Lukaku's thigh injury. The former Chelsea and MU striker does not need surgery after he is forced to leave the field in the friendly match before Napoli's season with Olympiacos on August 14, however, he may have to play at least 3 months.
Napoli has now started negotiating with MU to agree on Rasmus Hojlund, who also attracted attention from AC Milan and Roma. Sky Sport Italia reported that Antonio Conte had prioritized the top signing with Hojlund, and Napoli was trying to reach an agreement with the Red Devils.
