AC Milan Ramps Up Efforts to Sign Manchester United's Rasmus Højlund
20 Aug
Summary
- AC Milan leading race to sign Rasmus Højlund from Manchester United
- Højlund's former club Atalanta also interested in the Danish striker
- Napoli reignite interest after Lukaku's injury
As of August 20th, 2025, Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund appears to be on his way out of the club. The 22-year-old Danish international has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford all summer, despite repeatedly stating his desire to stay and fight for his place.
AC Milan has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Højlund, ramping up their efforts to secure the player's services. The Serie A club has openly expressed its admiration for the young striker, who is now seemingly grasping the less than subtle hints from Manchester United that he is no longer in their plans.
Højlund's former employers, Atalanta, are the latest side to be credited with interest in the misfiring forward, while Napoli have also reignited their approach following the serious muscular injury to their starting striker, Romelu Lukaku. However, Milan is said to have the upper hand in the negotiations, with the two clubs reportedly lining up the terms of a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy, should certain criteria be met.
A sum of €40 million (£34.5 million, $46.6 million) has been floated as the potential transfer fee, and Milan is hailing Højlund as their "Plan A" option, with Juventus' Dušan Vlahović emerging as an alternative should the Dane refuse to leave Old Trafford.
