Manchester United seems to have finished tying up their new striker for the following season. It is precisely the Danish attacker Rasmus Hojlund, a player who was one of the great revelations of the Italian Serie A. However, after multiple contacts between directives, the final price for the player is finally agreed, and it will surprise more than one.

 

Rasmus Hojlund is a profile that is very reminiscent of Erling Haaland in his early days, but with a certainly lower measure in terms of the Norwegian's impressive scoring ability. Even so, what the Danish has done at Atalanta has been enough for Manchester United to decide to sign him for the following season. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has a multi-season deal with the Red Devils.

Hojlund is the club's next main transfer target after reaching an agreement with Inter for goalkeeper Andre Onana, who will undergo a medical after agreeing an initial fee of 51 million euros. United want Hojlund as soon as possible, although getting him on the US tour is next to impossible.

 

How much will Manchester United pay for Hojlund?

According to English media, the player would arrive for an amount of 60 million euros, the same price that Manchester City paid for Haaland. However, the Atalanta coach assures that from the club they value it at a higher price. "I don't know if he will stay or go, but I expect the club to value Højlund around 80, 90 or 100 million. Rasmus is one of the best - if not the best - emerging talent in Europe as a striker," Gasperini said in preseason.
