According to Matteo Moretto‘s latest, Napoli are searching for a striker following Lukaku’s serious injury. He is expected to miss at least three months after suffering a severe muscle problem in training, causing the management to spring into action.
In recent hours, not only has Andrea Pinamonti been contacted, but Napoli have also made moves for Rasmus Højlund. Initial approaches have been made, after interest at the start of the transfer market. Manchester United do not consider Joshua Zirkzee to be on the market, he adds.
For several weeks now, Milan have been in discussions and negotiations with the Dane’s agent, who is currently not part of the plans at Manchester United. However, the Rossoneri may now face some strong competition, given that Napoli can offer Champions League football.
Speaking before the Coppa Italia clash against Bari at San Siro on Sunday night, Milan director Igli Tare confirmed that Hojlund is an option which is being considered for the No.9 role. However, he is not the only one, implying that something needs to move otherwise alternatives will be studied.
