MU's “Bomb Squad” group of “Bomb Squad” is still being conducted urgently before the summer transfer period of 2025 officially closed. Accordingly, the Red Devils reached an agreement for Hojlund to join Napoli on loan, but the Antony deal to Betis broke down at the last minute.
Hojlund has not played for a minute for MU this season after Benjamin Sesko docked. According to The Athletic, MU reached an agreement with Napoli on Friday.
According to the terms, the £ 72 million “bomb” Hojlund will wear the Serie A team on the form of loan in the season 2025/26. Napoli will be obliged to buy him for £ 38 million if winning tickets to the Champions League. In addition, MU will also receive a significant borrowing fee (about 5.2 million pounds).
However, this deal has not been confirmed because Hojlund has not agreed to leave. Despite being broken from the list of 3 matches from the beginning of the season, the Danish striker still wants to cling to Old Trafford to fight for his position.
During the national focus in June, Hojlund once asserted: “I have a contract until 2030, so I hope to play for Manchester United. I am looking forward to the summer vacation, and then I will wholeheartedly for the project here.” Now, he is forced to make a decision for his future.
Another case almost also had to leave Old Trafford, Antony. According to British media, MU has accepted a £ 20 million offer with an additional charge from Real Betis, the club is really wanting to bring the Brazilian player back after the successful loan last season.
However, Betis can withdraw because of disagreements in the liquidation terms, including the ability to set up the terms of 50% of the resale fee. In fact, just a few hours later, Real Betis officially announced: “There is no agreement to Antony and we have withdrawn the offer. We cannot pay the transfer fee and the amount that Man United must pay to the player before the transfer.”
That means, the Antony deal officially broke. Man United still hopes Betis is just bargaining and will return to another offer.
Meanwhile, the Garnacho deal to Chelsea is progressing smoothly. The Argentine winger is not in the plan of coach Ruben Amorim. The £ 40 million fee was closed on Thursday. Coach Enzo Maresca also confirmed that Garnacho was present at the Cobham Center for medical examination on Friday: “I know he is around here. But it is not clear where it is.”
In the opposite direction, despite leaving many players, Sunsport revealed that Amorim was resolutely holding Kobbie Mainoo. The talent of mature from the Carrington furnace has once achieved the desire to join Napoli, but MU refused.
