Revealed: The fee Man United could now pay to finalise Hojlund signing - sources
Atalanta want a fee of €60million (around £52million) in order to part with Man United target Rasmus Hojlund this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
This site revealed on Tuesday (30 May) that the Red Devils are keen on signing the 20-year-old in the upcoming transfer window.
It is believed that Hojlund is seen as an alternative to high-value striker targets Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.
He is regarded as one of the best young strikers in world football and has wowed Man United scouts throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Old Trafford chiefs see Hojlund as a player with “huge” potential as they look to refresh their strikeforce.
The Denmark international notched 15 goals across 41 appearances in all competitions in 2022-23, despite starting in just 26 of those outings.

It is believed the Bergamo club are looking to make a profit of more than £35million if Hojlund is to move on in the off-season.
