Fourth signing: £520,000 a year forward agrees 7-8 times higher deal to join Man United, Agent was in Carrington yesterday as agreement has finally been reached
Manchester United United are now fully focused on adding a center forward this summer and they are moving fast to lure Rasmus Hojlund.
If reports are to be believed, Hojlund has agreed a deal that will multiply his current salary 7-8 times to move to Old Trafford.
A few hours ago, Alfredo Pedulla revealed the Danish international takes home wages of around 600,000 euros a year i.e. £520,000 a year.
The Italian journalist claims the 20-year-old striker has agreed a deal to join Man Utd which will make him earn 7-8 times higher per season.
This means the youngster will take home around £4.2million a year once he has completed his move to the Red Devils.
As far as the fee is concerned, Pedulla writes that Atalanta want 60 million euros fixed fee and 8-10 million euros in add-ons.
Man Utd were initially offering around 53-55 million euros fixed fee and could now raise the bid to 57-60 million euros.
United saw multiple bids rejected before reaching agreements for Mason Mount and Andre Onana. So, it will not be surprising to see the same trend to secure Rasmus Hojlund.
The former Copenhagen forward featured for 1,897 minutes in all competitions for Atalanta last season and averaged a goal every 190 minutes, not a prolific record.
Nevertheless, Erik ten Hag thinks that he can get the best out of the 6-capped star. We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds and will keep you updated.
