Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted June 16, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2023 But want £86m! Quote Atalanta will demand a figure 'well in advance' of their club record transfer fee for striker Rasmus Hojlund. Manchester United are increasingly likely to firm up their interest with an offer for the highly-rated Denmark international while Chelsea remain in the wings. However, Mail Sport understands the Italian club held a meeting earlier this week when it was decided they would demand closer to £86million (100m euro) for the 20-year-old who still has four years left on his contract. Hojlund has recently signed a short-term representation deal with agency SEM, who also represent Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. That has led many to believe that United hold an advantage in any negotiations but Atalanta are determined to maintain control of their asset by placing a premium price on his head. Their record fee received was previously £45m from Tottenham for defender Cristian Romero but with interest in Hojlund so high and quality centre forwards in short supply, Atalanta believe their valuation is reflective of the current market. They see huge potential in the Denmark international, who has scored five times in four games for his country, and would demand any talks start at a much higher figure. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12198541/Atalanta-want-86m-sell-Man-United-Chelsea-striker-target-Rasmus-Hojlund.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the look of him to be fair. Do you bite the bullet and grab a young superstar before somebody else does or do you wait and see if he develops first. It's a hard one.

Redcanuck 175 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Somewhere around 70m Euros, with about 5m of that being add ons. Hope he is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of money, about 15m Euros more than others are reporting. Need to wait until we hear what United report to stock market to discover the correct price.

I know we shouldn't use YouTube as a yard stick but his movement around the penalty area looks exceptional and he's likely to have far better supply at United. Having a proper striker to work with might benefit Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho and Anthony most. They didn't trust Weghorst toward the end of last season and they became a bit greedy. Looking forward to see how this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,212 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Can’t say I’ve seen much of him but there looks to be a massive difference between the numbers hes put up so far and the fee hes going for. See how it pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The biggest trick any club can do is sign the right player before they become a massive stand out star. If he develops to become 1 of Haaland & Mbappe's nearest rivals, this will seem good business. If he develops into the Danish Peter Crouch, perhaps less so.

Yeah I think it's a myth that United can't afford to upgrade their stadium. It's just that the Glazers don't see it as something worth investing in because they don't believe it's going to provide for high enough return on investment. United's spending doesn't indicate a club that's skint. It indicates a club that's got owners that prioritise quick return on investment without much thought about the long term benefits to certain investments.
