Inter Milan have stepped up their interest in Manchester United’s young striker Rasmus Hojlund, making renewed contact about signing him on a permanent deal.
At just 22 years old, Hojlund remains under contract with United until 2028, but things at Old Trafford seem far from settled for the Danish forward.
Hojlund’s Tough First Season at Manchester United
When United signed Hojlund from Atalanta last August, they paid a hefty £64 million upfront, with an additional £8 million in potential add-ons.
Expectations were high, but the striker has struggled to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
Over the last season, he managed to find the net only four times across 32 league appearances, a tally that falls short given the investment.
With United aiming to strengthen their attack this summer, they’re now open to hearing offers for Hojlund from clubs willing to meet their price.
United’s Bid for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo Continues
Meanwhile, Manchester United haven’t slowed down their pursuit of other attacking options.
Talks with Brentford are ongoing as United prepare to launch a second, improved bid for Bryan Mbeumo.
Reports suggest this offer could exceed £60 million, showing how keen the Red Devils are to boost their forward line.
Inter Milan’s Recent Setbacks and Coaching Changes
Inter Milan are also going through a period of change after a disappointing finish to their season.
The Serie A giants were the top scorers in the Italian league last year but narrowly missed out on the title, finishing just one point behind Napoli.
Their recent 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final was another blow, and soon after that defeat, manager Simone Inzaghi left the club.
Now, Inter are moving quickly to appoint Cristian Chivu as their new head coach, hoping fresh leadership can turn things around.
