Napoli Confirm Signing Of Man United Star Rasmus Hojlund On Loan
Manchester United and Napoli have both officially announced Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer to Italy.
United clarified that the arrangement is a season-long loan, while Napoli emphasized that the deal also includes a mandatory purchase clause.
United’s statement declared: ‘Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli on loan for the duration of the 2025/26 season, subject to international clearance and registration.
‘Hojlund has made 95 appearances for the Reds since signing from Atalanta in August 2023, scoring 26 goals. He lifted the Emirates FA Cup at the end of the 2023/24 season, after coming on as a substitute in the final against Manchester City.
‘Rasmus has agreed a move to the Serie A champions, under the management of Antonio Conte. Napoli will be the fifth club Hojlund has represented during his career, following earlier spells with Copenhagen and Sturm Graz.
‘We’d like to wish Rasmus good luck for the campaign ahead.’
Napoli’s announcement stated: ‘SSC Napoli announces that it has acquired the sporting services of footballer Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United Football Club on loan with an obligation to buy.
‘Born on February 4, 2003, the Danish footballer grew up in the youth teams of Brondby, Holbaek and FC Copenhagen.
‘After a year with Sturm Graz, Rasmus joined Atalanta in August 2022, playing 34 games and scoring 10 goals. The following season, he moved to Manchester United, scoring 26 goals in 95 appearances. He scored eight goals in 26 appearances for the Danish national team. Welcome, Rasmus!’
The transfer concludes Hojlund’s lackluster two-year tenure at Old Trafford after his £64m transfer from Atalanta in 2023.
Hojlund netted 26 goals in 95 appearances for United, but managed only four goals in 32 Premier League matches last season.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
