The decisive shift towards Harder also stems from the former Atalanta player’s refusal: there is an agreement between De Laurentiis’ club and United for around 40-45 million

In the saga “The mystery of Milan’s new center forward,” a real hit of the summer transfer market, Rasmus Hojlund has played a leading role, at least in some episodes. The Danish striker from Manchester United was the Rossoneri’s primary target for weeks, but they then suddenly turned their attention to Boniface and, after getting burned by the Nigerian from Bayer, are now closing in on Conrad Harder. However, yesterday afternoon, a call was made from Via Aldo Rossi to Seg, the agency that represents Hojlund. It was a last-ditch attempt to find out if the situation of the former Atalanta player had changed, as he had set as a condition for moving to Milan a clause that was at least conditional on objectives regarding his redemption after a year on loan. However, Hojlund is now in talks with Napoli, and the margins for re-entering the deal were evidently so narrow that they convinced the Rossoneri to push ahead with Harder.

And now?—  Hojlund’s agents, Manchester United, and Napoli are currently negotiating the deal in a phone call. The formula is still up in the air (the Dane would always prefer a discount on the buyout clause), even more so than the figures, with the Italian champions already agreeing on a valuation of around $40-45 million for the player.
