According to recent reports, AC Milan has made inquiries about Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund. This development comes after months of speculation linking the Danish forward with Milan`s city rivals, Inter.
Transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio from Sky Sport Italia reports that the Rossoneri have contacted Manchester United within the last day to inquire about Hojlund`s availability. This move marks a shift in the narrative, as Hojlund had long been associated with a potential move to Inter Milan.
However, Inter seems to have moved on from pursuing Hojlund. They have instead secured the services of Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma and are placing their trust in youth team player Pio Esposito.
Hojlund: A Potential Fit for Milan`s Strategy
AC Milan`s interest in Hojlund aligns with their search for a physically imposing center-forward to suit new coach Max Allegri`s tactics. The Danish striker, with his Serie A experience from his time at Atalanta, could be an ideal candidate.
Despite spending only one year in Bergamo, Hojlund made enough of an impression to secure a €77.8 million (plus bonuses) transfer to Manchester United in 2023. However, his time at Old Trafford has been challenging, with limited playing time. Last season, he managed 10 goals and four assists in 52 appearances across all competitions.
If Milan decides to pursue Hojlund, the deal would likely take the form of a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. This arrangement could provide Milan with the opportunity to assess Hojlund`s fit within the team before committing to a permanent transfer.
