AC Milan is moving to launch a new offer for Rasmus Hojlund, the disgraced striker at Man United, in the hope of completing the deal right this week.
AC Milan accelerated the recruitment of Rasmus Hojlund
The incident became even hotter after Rasmus Hojlund was removed by coach Ruben Amorim from the list of competition in the opening match of the Premier League against Arsenal. The 22-year-old striker only sitting in the stands witnessed the “Red Devils” failing 0-1, clear signs that his future at Old Trafford was coming to an end.
Man United just spent £ 73.7 million to bring Benjamin Sesko, and that made Hojlund's door closed. AC Milan saw the opportunity and entered it soon. Earlier, the black and black striped shirt team had asked to borrow Hojlund for a season with a fee of 4 million pounds, with the terms of purchase of 39 million pounds.

However, the current situation can bring everything to a new direction. According to the Italian media, Milan is about to return to the negotiation table with the plan to borrow with the purchase obligation for £ 35 million, but it is only activated if Hojlund achieves certain goals. This is considered a mutually beneficial solution: Man United can collect the desired fee, while Hojlund has the opportunity to reaffirm the name in Serie A, where he once shone in Atalanta shirt.
A source from Gazzetta dello Sport said that Hojlund also leaned on the possibility of leaving Old Trafford on a permanent transfer, to focus on wholeheartedly for the new stop. Milan plans to resume negotiations with Man United on Monday, with the determination to supplement the fire for coach Massimiliano Allegri before the weekend, while preventing the late peeking from Napoli after Romelu Lukaku's injury.
Hojlund once claimed to stay to fight for a foothold: “My plan is very clear, it is to stay and fight for my position. Competition is good, it helps me to be sharper and help the whole team stronger.”. He also reminded people that he was 22 years old and still had a lot of time to develop.
However, the numbers show a harsh reality: Hojlund only scored 26 goals after 95 matches for Man United since docking Old Trafford with a huge fee of 72 million pounds in 2023. Previously, he only had 10 goals after 34 appearances for Atalanta.
Besides AC Milan, this young striker is also within the sights of Fulham, Atalanta and Napoli. But at the present time, San Siro is emerging as the most ideal destination for Hojlund to restart their career.
