Player ready to accept less money to sign for Manchester United – Has ‘given priority’ to Ten Hag
Following an update from Alfredo Pedulla stating that Manchester United were going to make their offer for Rasmus Højlund, Gianluca Di Marzio has added his information to the mix.
The respected journalist took to his website to provide the update, which is full of hope for fans of the Red Devils waiting for this transfer to go through.
He corroborates claims that Paris Saint-Germain are providing competition, but Manchester United have the upper hand in this battle.
That’s because Old Trafford is the ‘desired destination’ for the Denmark international, and while the wages offered by the Ligue 1 giants are ‘higher’ than what the Premier League side are ready to pay him, the striker has ‘given priority’ to the Red Devils.
As for what Atalanta want, it’s much of the same, as they want €80m with bonuses included, while Manchester United ‘expect to reach an agreement’ at €70m + bonuses.
For Di Marzio, the belief is the next few days ‘will be decisive’, and all parties hope to close the transfer of the player to Old Trafford ‘by this weekend’.
Despite only scoring nine league goals in his first season, Højlund’s performances as a whole have caught the attention of Erik ten Hag, who seems intent on getting his hands on the youngster.
