Italian Giants Eye Højlund As United Future Looks Uncertain

Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund is a key transfer target for several Italian clubs. Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli are all interested in the Danish striker.

GROWING INTEREST IN ITALY

Inter Milan is the latest Serie A giant interested in Højlund. The team joins other Italian clubs watching his situation at Old Trafford closely. Inter are considering signing the 22-year-old striker, who was previously approached by Juventus and Napoli in March. Juventus already began steps to sign Højlund, preparing for a potential exit of current forward Dusan Vlahovic due to contract issues.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce of Turkey are talking to Man United as they try to sign Højlund on loan. The club is now managed by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, and they like the idea of giving a new start to the striker, who is yet to make his mark in England.

STRUGGLES IN ENGLAND

Højlund joined Manchester United in a high-profile transfer from Atalanta of Italy in 2023. The deal cost £85 million, but the striker has failed to perform as expected. He struggled again this season, scoring only four goals in the league campaign, and United are considering parting ways with the forward.

United are seventh in the table, with two matches left to play, and their hopes of qualifying for European football next season are in balance. The Red Devils are six points behind fifth-placed Tottenham, and just three points ahead of eighth-placed Newcastle United. United will face West Ham in their next league fixture this weekend, a tie which could define their season.

WHERE NEXT FOR HØJLUND?

New manager Amorim is eyeing a huge rebuild at United this summer, which could make Højlund available for transfer. United will decide if they want to cut their losses on their expensive signing, or give the young striker more time to adapt to life in England.

The Manchester club will aim to recover as much of his £85 million transfer fee as they can, but Højlund seems set to return to Italy in the summer. Italian clubs rate the striker from his time with Atalanta, where he was in great form before making the move to England.

Højlund’s future may be resolved soon as the summer transfer window looms, and several clubs are queueing up to save the striker from his Premier League woes.
