Rasmus Hojlund, a target for Real Madrid, is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United from Atalanta this summer.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, Manchester United and Real Madrid are keen on signing Rasmus Hojlund. And the Danish international wants to join the Red Devils in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Atalanta will demand €50 million to part ways with the highly-rated striker.
Rasmus Hojlund is coming off a memorable 2022/23 season. While the 20-year-old was not too prolific in the campaign gone by, his stock still skyrocketed. In addition, he made his mark on the international stage, rising to prominence in the March international break with his free-scoring exploits.
As for his output in the 2022/23 campaign, the Danish striker amassed 16 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances. Hojlund’s progress has not gone unnoticed, with his exploits capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. And Manchester United and Real Madrid are two of his prospective suitors.
Manchester United will enter the market for a striker in the summer transfer window. Wout Weghorst has returned to Burnley at the end of his short-term loan spell. And Manchester United will unlikely sign the Dutch international permanently ahead of the 2023/24 season. Meanwhile, Anthony Martial faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford.
Hojlund has thus emerged as a viable target for Manchester United. And Erik ten Hag recently spoke with the Atalanta striker, valued at around €50 million, over a summer move. It has now emerged that the Danish international wants to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window. Such a development has come as a blow for Real Madrid.
Like Manchester United, Real Madrid will look to sign a striker in the summer transfer window. And the Merengues have identified several options to bolster their offensive department. With Karim Benzema’s departure leaving a gaping hole in the final third, Real Madrid must zero in on a top-class striker. And Hojlund is a viable target.

But with the 20-year-old keen on joining Manchester United, Real Madrid must identify alternatives for him. Meanwhile, the Red Devils know the player’s stance. And a summer deal worth around €50 million for Hojlund is seemingly on the cards.
