The Italian side values the forward, who has been called the “Danish Erling Haaland”, at around £60 million and is not inclined to engage in a swap deal with United. The club’s focus remains on securing a substantial transfer fee for the highly-rated Danish talent.
Timing is Key
Before approaching Atalanta for a transfer bid, the Old Trafford side intends to first reach an agreement on personal terms with the player and his representatives. While they have not yet submitted an official bid for the Dane, the club is actively engaged in discussions with the Serie A side.
Timing is crucial as the negotiations progress, and the Red Devils are preparing to approach Atalanta with a competitive bid at the opportune time. Although the deal is still in its early stages, Manchester United are committed to pursuing the talented striker and are determined to secure his signature.
This transfer saga will be one to watch as the club look to add Hojlund’s talents to their squad as they aim to compete at the highest level.
