Rasmus Hojlund has been one of the names linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.

The striker, formerly of Atalanta, has been linked with two primary clubs this summer.

The first of these, AC Milan, have recently revealed their payment structure for the deal.

Furthermore, the Serie A side had previously tried to sign Victor Boniface.

But, following the failure of his medical, Boniface is returning to Bayer Leverkusen.

With this the case, a move to Milan is arguably still on the cards.

However, a move to current Italian champions Napoli currently seems more likely.

The Naples outfit have previously advanced in their pursuit of Hojlund.

Furthermore, the Danish international has given a move to the Italian champions his green light.

But, with a move to Milan on the cards, former United player Scott McTominay phoned Hojlund to try and convince him to join the club.

Now, an update has emerged on the deal.

According to Italian journalist Gianlucadi Marzio, Napoli have reached an agreement in principle with Rasmus Hojlund.

The journalist has also stated that progress has been made in the negotiations with Manchester United.

Now, according to the journalist, Napoli’s priority is on closing the deal for the striker to join the club.

With this now revealed, we could see the Italian club move to quickly close the deal as the transfer window closure looms.

However, with AC Milan also in the picture, Napoli will arguably want to close the deal as soon as possible.

Furthermore, with Hojlund likely to depart on loan, some of the wage budget will be freed up.

The money from this could be used to bring another player to United before the transfer window closes next week.
