Reports suggest that AC Milan are making significant progress in their pursuit of Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund. The Italian club has reportedly reached an agreement with United for a loan deal worth €6 million, with ongoing discussions about a potential €40 million option to buy.
However, the transfer is not yet finalized, as Milan has not directly communicated with either Manchester United or Hojlund`s representatives. The negotiations have been conducted through intermediaries to gauge the situation at Old Trafford before proceeding further.
According to sources, Manchester United is open to loaning out Hojlund, especially considering their recent acquisition of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, which could limit Hojlund`s playing time. The proposed deal would see Milan cover Hojlund`s entire €4 million annual salary.
While the clubs seem to be making headway, convincing Hojlund to accept the move remains a challenge. The Danish international appears determined to fight for his place in the Premier League. Milan has yet to speak directly with the player, hoping that direct communication could help overcome his reservations.
One potential drawback for Hojlund is Milan`s lack of European football next season, which would limit his competitive opportunities to Serie A and Coppa Italia matches. This factor could play a role in the player`s decision-making process.
As negotiations continue, both clubs and the player will need to reach a consensus before any deal can be finalized. The coming days are likely to be crucial in determining whether Hojlund will make the switch to San Siro or remain at Old Trafford for the upcoming season.
