Today, it seems the deal for Rasmus Hojlund could be unlocked between AC Milan and Manchester United, according to reports.
The idea of Hojlund has increased in popularity quickly, and another major move could take place this summer. For a long period, it seemed that Dusan Vlahovic would be the one to join. However, it may not now be the case.

Over to Allegri
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Hojlund is now ‘at the top’ of Massimiliano Allegri’s wishlist for the summer, and the striker has opened up to the transfer. The idea of staying in Manchester is fading, whilst the draw of working for a top coach in Rossoneri is appealing.
Vlahovic still remains in the conversation, and this is where the ball ‘falls to Max’. The Italian, then, hopes to speak to the Dane to give reassurances over his situation and place trust in him that he can reach the top level under his guidance.
The figures
Right now, Milan do not want to go past €40 million. However, a €6m loan fee and €40m buy option is the current idea from England. Though Gazzetta reports that Hojlund wants security for his situation, whether that be in an obligation or a lower possible fee to secure a move.
In the meantime, other options will remain on the table. However, Igli Tare believes that a move should be finalised by the middle of next week, something not out of the realm of possibility.
5+35 million. Whether United overpaid for him isn’t our concern. A loan with an option just in case he doesn’t work out.
I live in England so I find myself saying exactly this a lot – “if you are going to write blank cheques for every player you sign, you’re going to have to be prepared to lose money on the ones that don’t work out. It’s not the rest of European football’s fault that you overspend”
I agree, 40m total. Make it an obligation after so many appearances or something.
And that seems to be a very common theme with Man United.
agree. Very low risk. Hojlund should be highly motivated to put the ball in the back of the net for the Rossoneri. If he scores 15-20 goals and plays well with Leao and Pulisic (the jury is very much out on Giminez), he’s worth $35m. If not, he goes back to Manu U.
Even 10-15 goals in his first season at Milan would justify signing him permanently. I do not expect anything outstanding from this soft CF but I think he will do just fine.
Utd need to get over themselves. Just because you were dumb enough to overspend by 45mil on him doesn’t mean the rest of thebworld has to do the same. He scored like 5 goals last season. He’s not worth more than 35mil maximum. Loan for a year and OPTION to buy if he does well. Its not our job to clean up their mistakes
This is such a bad situation vlahovic is bad enough, but hoijlund, this team after all the good moves they have made are probably going to make a big mistake. Not good enough for a team like Milan. These are names that should be linked with teams like parma, udinese, no disrespect to those teams. Not Milan, this ta needs to make a bigger investment for the number 9. These guys are both washed especially hoijlund.
You speak as if you know. But you know nothing. Højlund is a strong striker and on level with Gimenez. He is very young and debut Atalanta scored a lot of goals. Even in united with big pressure etc he scored goals. He still only 22. It’s a very nice move by Milan. Also we have 1st striker Gimenez. Don’t underestimate Højlund.
Højlund is a great centre forward. He’s just not cut out for the high-pressure environment that is the Premier League. I believe he will do well at Milan, but it has to be 5m loan + 35m option (no obligation clause). Period.
It’s massive for Milan his a real deal and also he wants to prove his worth to secure his transfer permanent next summer I’m so supper happy
It works in our favor that Hojlund is taking his time to get over being (r)ejected from his boyhood club.
If ManU really do need to offload him then his price drops with each day that goes by. so let him drag his feet a bit more and maybe we can get that *5m load + 35m buy with obligation on parameters* deal done in the coming few weeks.
With the schedule we have until Sept 28 we are not in a hurry. He is training and will come close to match fit, so it will be a matter of integration which he will have a month to do.
I like Hojlund of Vlad the Complainer. Hojlund is a hardworking boy. Vlad has perfected the art of gesticulating at his mates over his own shortcomings.
Give them 6m loan + 30m option to buy, then after season they have to negotiate again to lowered amount. That’s Italian typical negotiations
Vlahovic is better than Hojlund, he created goals from free kick too. but his salary is to high.
Hojlund value max is 35mil. Let’s get him or look to another striker.
I would have loved we go for vlahovic.
Dude is a very good setpiece taker.
It’s been like decades since we scored from free kicks.
Last one was from João Felix and that was pretty cheap
