Rasmus Højlund, the 22-year-old Danish centre-forward currently playing for SSC Napoli in Italy’s Serie A, could be on his way to Premier League club Manchester United.
Højlund’s market value currently stands at around €35.00m, which converts to approximately 260 million DKK, after a slight variance reduction.
Højlund has been a key player for Napoli, who are currently leading Serie A with 82 points, a position that guarantees them a place in the Champions League. His potential move to Manchester United comes at a time when the English club is struggling, sitting 15th in the Premier League with 42 points.
The transfer window is currently open and will close on August 31, leaving just over a week for the clubs to agree on terms. Should the move go ahead, Højlund will be joining a United team that includes the likes of Rafael Marín Zamora, the 23-year-old Spanish player who has featured in 4 matches this season.
This potential transfer could signal a significant change in fortunes for both Højlund and Manchester United. However, as with all transfers, the final decision rests with the clubs and the player.
