Manchester United has recently made a significant £51 million ($66m) bid for the highly sought-after Atalanta striker, Rasmus Hojlund. The rumors of United’s interest in signing the talented Danish striker have been circulating for weeks, and it appears that the deal is now progressing towards reality as they have officially submitted their offer, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. However, they may face competition from Paris Saint-Germain in their pursuit of Hojlund.
Atalanta is standing firm on their valuation of the player, demanding at least €70 million (£59m/$77m) for his transfer. Hojlund has been with the club for only one season, having joined them in 2022 for £14.5 million ($18.8m). If La Dea manages to secure the full amount they desire, it would be a considerable financial gain for the club.
While PSG is also monitoring Hojlund’s situation, their interest is contingent on the future of Kylian Mbappe. The French club won’t make a move for the Atalanta striker until there is clarity regarding Mbappe’s potential departure. The situation adds an extra layer of uncertainty to Hojlund’s potential destination.
