Napoli weigh Hojlund swap deal as Manchester United plan major summer move

According to reports, Manchester United are prepared to offer Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund in a player-plus-cash deal for Osimhen.

The 21-year-old, who joined the Red Devils from Atalanta for a £72 million fee last summer, has endured a torrid second season in England, and his future at the club is uncertain.

Napoli are said to be considering the proposal, especially as they look to restructure their attack for next season.

While Osimhen remains one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, his situation at Napoli has been complicated by a failed summer transfer and a subsequent loan move to Galatasaray.

With his contract running until 2026, with an option to extend until 2027, Napoli hold the upper hand in negotiations, even though a promising young forward like Hojlund would present an attractive possibility.

Napoli prepare for life after Osimhen’s permanent move

While Hojlund is one option on the table, Napoli are also eyeing other options for their attack. Reports suggest that they have set their sights on another Manchester United star Joshua Zirkzee, who made waves in Serie A before his move to England.

However, Manchester United’s willingness to include Hojlund in a swap deal makes the Danish international a more immediate and logistically smoother solution.

Additionally, Napoli are reported to be in advanced talks with Lille for Kosovan winger Edon Zhegrova, a player also linked to Juventus, as they prepare for a post-Osimhen era regardless of whether the Nigerian leaves this summer or next.
