Man Utd Open to Juve Offer for Summer Signing
Serie A giants Juventus and Napoli are eyeing a summer move for Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund, with the Bianconeri already initiating informal discussions with the Premier League club, according to transfer insider Matteo Moretto.
The 22-year-old Danish forward, who joined United from Atalanta for €75 million in 2023, could be poised for a swift return to Italian football after a mixed debut season in England.
Despite Højlund’s status as a long-term project, United are open to considering offers to “free up space” for a new marquee striker signing.
Juventus has reportedly begun preliminary talks with United, though formal negotiations are yet to commence.
Moretto emphasizes that Juventus are seeking two strikers this summer, with Højlund emerging as a key target.
Since his club-record move to Old Trafford, Højlund has scored 14 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions (as of April 2024), showing flashes of potential but struggling for consistency in a disjointed United attack.
His physicality and work rate have earned praise, though critics highlight his modest return of 7 goals in 27 Premier League games.
The Bianconeri’s interest in Højlund is part of a broader restructuring of their attack. Rasmus Højlund’s potential return to Italy underscores the cutthroat nature of top-tier football.
For Juventus, he represents a calculated gamble; for United, a chance to recalibrate their attack
