Man United will place a second bid for Rasmus Hojlund. Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta is said to be the target of a second offer from Manchester United. This summer, the Red Devils are eager to get a No. 9, and Hojlund has been mentioned as a potential candidate.
The Sun reports that Manchester United is prepared to make a £40 million offer for Hojlund after their initial offer of £31 million was turned down. Uncertainty surrounds the Serie A team’s desire in selling the teenage striker for that sum.
However, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport, Atalanta is seeking a transfer fee in the neighborhood of £39 million. Therefore, the fresh offer from Manchester United ought to persuade the Italian club.
Rasmus Hojlund transferred from the Austrian club Sturm Graz to Atalanta during the summer of 2022. The 20-year-old made 32 league appearances for them in 2022–2023, 20 of which were starts, but he wasn’t a consistent starter for them.
He appeared in 34 games for Atalanta overall, contributing to four goals and scoring ten himself. The young player has been in outstanding form for his country of Denmark, scoring six goals in only five games.
The other two strikers Manchester United is interested in are Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur and Victor Osimhen of Napoli. However, these two players will cost significantly more than Atlanta is asking for Hojlund, thus it’s been rumored that Red Devils have given up trying to sign them.
