Personal terms agreed: Player have reached VERBAL AGREEMENT with Man United to join on a permanent deal, official announcement coming up
Man United believe a price of £50-60million would be a fair valuation of Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund, sources have told Football Insider.
The Red Devils are wary about paying over the odds for the 20-year-old having already spent a sizeable amount of their budget on Mason Mount and Andre Onana.
It is believed Erik ten Hag’s side may have to sell fringe players to fund a move for Hojlund in the final month of the summer window.
One such player is Anthony Elanga, who is reportedly closing in on a £15million switch to Nottingham Forest – while goalkeeper Dean Henderson is also a permanent target for the Midlands club.
Hojlund has already agreed personal terms with Man United, but the Old Trafford club are yet to make an acceptable offer to Atalanta.
Football Insider revealed on Friday (21 July) that the Red Devils remain in pole position to seal a deal for the youngster despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that the player himself is keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Hojlund notched 15 goals across 41 appearances in all competitions last term despite starting in just 26 of those outings.
He is now regarded as one of the best young strikers in world football and wowed Man United scouts with his performances throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
The 20-year-old, who is under contract at Atalanta until June 2027, also scored six goals in his first six Denmark caps since making his international debut last year.
Despite their strong interest in Hojlund, Man United are keeping their options open in case a deal cannot be struck.
Football Insider revealed on Friday (21 July) that Man United are still considering a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani and have held talks with his representatives.
However, the France international is likely to cost around £80million.
