Hojlund wants to play for Napoli but imposes a special condition for his transfer to take place

Rasmus Hojlund is ready to leave Manchester United after a disappointing campaign, but the striker has made it clear that he will only accept a permanent transfer to Napoli.

Danish striker pushes for permanent move

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Hojlund has already given the green light to Napoli’s proposal, seeing the Italian champions as the right destination to revive his career. However, he has ruled out the possibility of a loan, demanding a full transfer that ends his contract with United.

The 22-year-old is no longer in United’s sporting plans, and several European clubs have shown interest. Yet Napoli appears to be the frontrunner, having monitored the player for months.

Napoli steps up after Lukaku’s injury

The Italian side accelerated negotiations after Romelu Lukaku suffered a serious injury, leaving Antonio Conte without his main striker. Hojlund is seen as the ideal replacement, combining youth, physicality, and experience in top-level football.

Talks between the clubs have been ongoing and reportedly advanced in recent days, though no official bid has been disclosed.

Transfer window heating up

With Hojlund keen to leave Old Trafford permanently and Napoli urgently in need of a forward, this deal could become one of the key stories of the transfer window.
