RB Leipzig Set to Hijack Deal for Man United Ace

The race for Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund has intensified dramatically, with RB Leipzig reportedly entering the fray and submitting a more lucrative offer than current front-runners Napoli.

According to reports from Sky Sport and NapoliHub_Off, the Bundesliga side is pushing hard to secure the Danish international’s signature.

This development presents a significant twist in a transfer saga that appeared to be heading towards a conclusion in Italy.

Napoli, who are seeking a replacement for the injured Romelu Lukaku, have been in advanced talks with Manchester United for a loan deal with an obligation to buy. A reported disagreement over an “appearance clause” has stalled the negotiations.

RB Leipzig, who recently sold striker Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United, now appear to be leveraging their strong relationship with the English club.

Sources suggest that Leipzig’s proposal is not only financially superior but also aligns more closely with Manchester United’s desire for a permanent exit for the striker.

While Napoli’s offer was structured around a loan-to-buy, it seems Leipzig are offering a more direct and appealing financial package.
