Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is currently on loan at Napoli, and his stance on staying at the Serie A club has emerged.
Rasmus Hojlund has done quite well for Napoli, with 12 contributions this season. According to a report by TEAMtalk, the Danish international wants to join the Serie A champions permanently at the end of the season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Napoli will be able to sign him for €44 million, and recent reports have claimed that they want to keep the Dane at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium beyond the 2025/26 season. The Partenopei need attacking depth, and signing Hojlund permanently would make a lot of sense.
The 22-year-old is a talented player with a lot of potential, and Antonio Conte has already brought out the best in him. He is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He could become an asset to the Serie A champions. €44 million might seem expensive right now, but the player is young enough to justify the investment in the near future.
Meanwhile, the Danish striker does not have a future at Manchester United, and it makes sense for him to move on and join a club where he will get regular opportunities. At Napoli, he would get to play in his comfort zone and work with a world-class manager who would help him improve further. It does not make any sense for him to return to Manchester United.
Manchester United have no place for Hojlund
Manchester United have already invested in Benjamin Sesko, and he is likely to be their first-choice striker for the near future. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can get the deal across the line. Manchester United could use the funds from his departure to further improve the team.
The Red Devils have endured a mediocre season by their standards so far, and they will look to bounce back strongly and fight for major trophies in the near future. They need to strengthen the team to compete with elite clubs.
Hojlund will look to fulfil his potential with Napoli in the coming years. The move to Manchester United has not worked out for the Dane at all, and he will be desperate to put the Premier League nightmare behind him and focus on his football once again.
