Rasmus Hojlund responds to Inter offer after breakthrough talks to leave Man Utd

Published

on

Inter Milan appear to have taken a significant step forward in their pursuit of Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, with the Danish international open to making a return to Italy during the summer transfer window.

Hojlund, who was brought in from Atalanta for a hefty £72 million just two seasons ago, is now among several players Manchester United are willing to offload as they look to reshape their squad.

The 22-year-old had a solid debut season at Old Trafford, notching up 16 goals, but struggled to replicate that form in his second year. That downturn in performance has prompted the Premier League club to consider alternative options, with Hojlund now likely to move on.

Although Juventus and Napoli have both shown interest recently, Inter have positioned themselves as the leading contenders to secure his signature.

Reports from Italy suggest that Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, was in London this week where discussions took place not only concerning Hojlund but also with regard to the club’s managerial position, as they weigh up the possibility of replacing Simone Inzaghi with Cesc Fabregas.

The visit reportedly allowed Inter to make headway in their talks with Manchester United over the striker.

Manchester United are said to prefer a permanent sale, while Inter are prepared to table an initial loan offer with an option to buy set at €45 million. That clause could become an obligation if certain performance-related conditions are met during the course of the season.

Despite ongoing negotiations and no immediate expectation that a deal will be finalized in time for the Club World Cup, Inter remain confident of landing Hojlund.

The player himself is believed to be receptive to a return to Serie A, having enjoyed his previous spell with Atalanta.

Should the move go through, Manchester United would be left with relatively thin options up front, including Joshua Zirkzee, who scored just seven goals last term, and teenage prospect Chido Obi, aged just 17.

To bolster their attacking options, United have already completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Cunha netted 15 goals in the Premier League last season.

In addition, the club has reportedly submitted an opening bid for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who contributed significantly to the top-flight goal tally last year with 20 goals. The combined total of 35 goals between the two highlights United’s intent to inject firepower into their squad.

With Hojlund’s exit looking increasingly likely, United continue to explore further reinforcements. Their shortlist for a new center forward remains active. Among the names considered is Liam Delap, who was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford before choosing to join Chelsea earlier this week.

Elsewhere, manager Ruben Amorim is said to favor a reunion with Viktor Gyokeres, although competition for the striker’s signature includes interest from both Arsenal and Chelsea.

There are also lingering connections to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Galatasaray. Additionally, intermediaries have reportedly offered Paris Saint-Germain’s Goncalo Ramos to United as they assess potential additions to their attacking ranks.

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer

Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.

The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.

In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.

The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.

Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.

Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider

Man City place Arsenal 'bottles' for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider

Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.

In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.

The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.

With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.

A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.

Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.

Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.

Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.

After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.

Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
