As per the latest news by Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League giants, Manchester United have officially reach an agreement over the transfer deal of Rasmus Hojlund with the Italian Serie A club, Atalanta.
Manchester United buy Rasmus Hojlund for €70m
According to the reports, the worth of the total package that was agreed by both parties is said to be €70m with add-ons. Both the clubs are said to be preparing the necessary documents for the deal within the next 24 hours so they can make sure the move is completed smoothly.
Initially during the beginning negotiations of the deal, it is said that the Red Devils were not ready to meet the asking price by Atalanta on the Danish international, and wanted to settle the deal by paying around €50m.
However, since the Serie A club had been determined on the price, United had to agree on the asking price of €70m with add-ons.
Manchester United had been prepared to bid for the 20-year-old for a while now, with him signing an expected five-year contract with the Erik ten Hag-led squad. Apparently personal terms and agreements had already been agreed between the club and player long time ago.
Rasmus Hojlund joins Manchester United from Atalanta
If the sources are to be believed, the fee charged by Atalanta is significantly higher than the current market value of the Danish striker, which stands at €45m. However, his valuation has skyrocketed ever since May 2022 from a mere €4.5m owing to his exceptional performance.
This means the market value of the Danishman could see far more substantial rise in the coming months, much more than €70m, if he continues his form while being in the spotlight as the main striker for Manchester United in the Premier League.
Signing of Rasmus Hojlund by United is a beginning of a new journey in an already flooded summer at the Old Trafford. With United star, Marcus Rashford signing a new long-term contract with the club, and goalkeeper Andre Onana making a star-transfer to the Red Devils, the new upcoming season might have a lot in store.
