Rasmus Hojlund is most likely to be acquired by Manchester United from Serie A team Atalanta.
The acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund by Manchester United cost money. The club will pay an initial cost of £64 million, which could increase to £72 million, according to Sky Sports.
The decision can end up seeming like a great value in the long run. Hojlund, 20, is capable of becoming a megastar.
How often have we watched other teams sign talented young strikers and wished Manchester United had acted sooner rather than later? One such is Victor Osimhen, who is worth £140 million.
Nevertheless, until Hojlund proves that he was money well spent by a club that has not always made sensible investment decisions, pundits will bring up the topic of value regularly this season and the following one.
Manchester United has won the race for Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United were not competing with themselves to sign Rasmus Hojlund. Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 champions, competed.
According to L’Equipe, Hojlund did not consider PSG’s interest since he was so keen on signing for Manchester United.
It says a lot about Hojlund’s talent that he was the striker PSG wanted to replace superstar forward Kylian Mbappe with.
Mbappe’s departure is expected, with the France international striker aiming to force a move to Real Madrid, according to The Times.
Instead of waiting until next year, the forward aims to leave this summer.PSG is now in need of a new striker, having already lost Lionel Messi.
Rasmus Hojlund was their preferred alternative for Mbappe, according to The Athletic, and they made a hefty bid for the Dane.
While Manchester United ended up paying a little more, the fact that Hojlund was selected as Mbappe’s replacement speaks something about his quality.
PSG signed Mbappe when he was only 18 years old. This was in 2017 before he went on to lead France to a World Cup victory. Holland was their most recent attempt to land a future superstar.
