Manchester Unitedare ɾєρօɾτedly lining up an improved £40m bid forRasmus Hojlund, having seen their opening offer for theAtalanta BCstriker turned down.
The 20-year-old has seemingly emerged as the club’s leading choice at centre-forward this summer, with Ԁєɑłs forTottenham Hotspur’sHarry KaneorNapoli’sVictor Osimhenseen as incredibly unlikely.
Hojlund made the move to Atalanta from Sturm Graz last summer, and he enjoyed a productive 2022-23 campaign for his Italian club, scoring 10 goals and registering four assists in 34 appearances.
Man United head coachErik ten Hagis said to be a huge admirer of the Denmark international, who started his professional career with Copenhagen.
The 20-time English championsare saidto have had an opening offer of £30m turned down by Atalanta, who have the in-demand striker on a contract until June 2027.
However, according toThe Sun, Man United are now preparing a second offer of £40m, with the club determined to secure his signature during the summer market.
The ɾєρօɾτ claims that the Red Devils have been quoted £150m for Osimhen, while Tottenham chairmanDaniel Levyis unlikely to allow Kane to move to a domestic rival.
Eintracht Frankfurt’sKolo Randal Muaniis also likely to be too expensive at around £80m, with Hojlund seemingly the most affordable target in the final third of the field.
The youngster, who has scored six goals in five appearances for Denmark, scored nine goals and registered four assists in 32 Serie A appearances last season.
Man United are close to signingMason Mountfrom Chelsea for an initial £55m, andthere have been claimsthat there is only £65m to spєɴԀ on a new striker at this stage, unless there are some first-team sales.
Anthony Martialis currently being linked with an exit, although the Red Devils are short in the final third of the field, withWout Weghorstreturning to Burnley following a loan spell.
Man United head coach Ten Hag is also believed to be keen to move bothFredandScott McTominayon, while club captainHarry Maguireis another player expected to depart.
The 20-time English champions are alsocurrently being linkedwithReal Madrid’sAurelien Tchouameni, although a move for the France international could depєɴԀ on whether Fred and McTominay leave.
