Napoli is on the verge of finalizing the transfer of Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United. The Italian club is ready to accept the terms proposed by the English side, which include an obligation to buy the player.
The negotiations for the Danish striker have been ongoing for about 10 days, following Romelu Lukaku`s injury. Hojlund has been Napoli`s top choice to strengthen their attacking options.
Deal Expected to Conclude Within 24 Hours
Thursday is shaping up to be the decisive day for the transfer. Intensive discussions have been taking place between the two clubs, with Napoli now prepared to agree to a loan deal that includes an obligation to purchase.
Initially, the proposal was for a loan with an option to buy for a total of €45 million. This option would have become mandatory if certain conditions were met, such as Champions League qualification and a specific number of appearances by the player.
However, Napoli has now indicated their willingness to accept Manchester United`s terms, effectively guaranteeing the outright purchase of Hojlund at the end of the loan period.
This development marks a significant step forward in the negotiations, with both clubs seemingly close to reaching a mutually beneficial agreement. The transfer of Hojlund could provide Napoli with a valuable asset to bolster their attacking capabilities for the remainder of the season and beyond.
