Man United’s Deal of the Decade Nears Completion – Sky Journalist

Manchester United Nears Deal for Atalanta Striker Rasmus Hojlund, Defying PSG’s Bid

Ramsus Hojlund is preparing to join Manchester United as a significant addition to their team.

This move comes shortly after the club secured the signing of El Bilal Toure, an exciting acquisition from Atalanta, who is generating immense buzz in football circles.

Toure, a talented forward from Almeria, underwent a physical with the Serie A team before the deal was finalized. The £26.5 million agreement between Atalanta and Toure left Everton, who were also interested in signing him, disappointed.

Toure’s determination to embrace the challenges of Serie A played a pivotal role in bringing the deal to an impressive and successful conclusion.

Atalanta has set a high asking price of £86 million for the teenage striker, creating a significant challenge for Manchester United, who remain firm in their stance not to exceed £60 million in the deal.

While the Red Devils have expressed a strong interest in signing Hojlund, they have also identified alternative options such as Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt and Mohammed Kudus from Ajax if they fail to reach an agreement.

United’s executives have kept their options open, preparing for the possibility that the transaction might not come to fruition, despite their keen interest in securing Hojlund’s services.

Hojlund Is a Rising Star

Hojlund’s remarkable resume speaks volumes about his talent and potential. Despite starting only 26 games last season, the 20-year-old forward displayed incredible prowess, netting an impressive 15 goals in 41 matches.

Such outstanding performances have quickly established him as one of the most promising young strikers worldwide, catching the keen eye of Manchester United’s scouts during the 2022-23 season.

Under contract with Atalanta until June 2027, Hojlund’s international debut for Denmark was nothing short of extraordinary, as he managed to score six goals in just six appearances. Now, the football world eagerly awaits as he embarks on a thrilling journey with Manchester United.
