According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Napoli is closely monitoring the situation for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
The Serie A champion sees Danish international as a potential solution to the striker’s dilemma, and discussions are underway behind the scenes.
Lukaku suffered a thigh injury in the preseason of Italian champion Napoli, and the Belgian striker may need surgery.
Although there is no time slot given for the injuries sustained by Lukaku, he is expected to go out for several months, with Napoli making the attack shorter.
Man United wants to sell Rasmus Hoilund
As Jacobs reports, United’s preference is to sell strikers entirely, with the asking price set at £40 million. Such transactions allow clubs to recover a significant portion of their investment while also generating funds for rebuilding other teams.
However, sources say that permanent sales is the first option, but United may be willing to consider a loan transaction under appropriate conditions if it helps players move.
Naples’ interest in Hozilund makes perfect sense. First, they are trying to find a short-term solution for Lukaku and Hozilund.
The move to Naples could bring back Hoilund’s career
The attacker played for Atalanta, Italy before his big money moved to Man United.
Despite Hojlund’s struggle, he is a young attacker, working well under the right environment and is away from the pressure to play for Man United.
The move to Naples under an experienced manager like Antonio Conte can help Hosjlund regain his confidence and form.
