Intendency of Inter to Sign Danish Talisman Hojlund
Outlook: Inter Milan Eyeing a Move for Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United
Hear this, folks! It's gossip central today! Inter Milan is reportedly eyeing a transfer for Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United this summer. The Italian giants are on the hunt for a new striker after bidding farewell to Marko Arnautovic and Lautaro Martinez, and Hojlund seems like their top pick.
According to the rumor mill, Christian Chivu's Inter fancy Hojlund as a player who can not only provide backup but also push for a starting spot alongside Marcus Thuram and potentially, Lautaro Martinez. So, keep your fingers crossed, Hojlund fans!
As for Hojlund, it seems he's keeping his options open, with an inkling of interest in donning the black-and-blue shirt of Inter once more. A return to Atalanta seeming a distant past, having moved to Old Trafford in 2023.
In the two years since, the 22-year-old Norwegian has netted an impressive 26 goals and laid on six assists in 95 matches across all competitions for United. With three years still left on his contract, United are apparently open to a sale, but have decided to hold on to Joshua Zirkzee instead.
Now, let me tell you a little secret - Inter is apparently considering a loan deal with an option to purchase for Hojlund, but Manchester United has allegedly turned that offer down. Instead, they're demanding a permanent transfer, with a price tag of around €45 million, which is a significant drop from the nearly €80 million they forked out to snatch him from Atalanta in 2023.
Here's a fun fact for you – Inter is reportedly close to snagging Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny and needs to offload Mehdi Taremi before making a move for Hojlund. Plus, Hojlund himself seems keen on sticking around in Manchester, with his contract running through 2030 and his expressed intent to prove himself at the club.
So, there you have it! While there's definitely smoke, there's no fire just yet – no deal has been sewn up between Inter and United for Hojlund just yet. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on this one!
