TuttoMercatoWeb claimed on Wednesday that Manchester United are interested in Rasmus Hjlund but believe Atalanta’s asking price of €70 million is ‘too much’.
Later that day, Calciomercato reported that the 20-year-old had notified the Serie A club’s CEO, Luca Percassi, of his wish to join the Red Devils during the summer transfer window.
According to Alfredo Pedulla, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is asking for €60 million up front, plus €8-10 million in bonuses for the striker.
At the same time, the article claims that Atalanta ‘wishes to settle fast, clearly with the best offer’ in order to rescue their management from ‘difficulty’.
It has already been said in the Bergamo media, which is local to Atalanta, that a quick sale would be preferable to a late one, as there is plenty of time to change and spend the money.
Pedulla stated on Wednesday that Manchester United might offer €53-55 million plus bonuses to sign the Denmark international.
According to Alfredo Pedulla, the Premier League club ‘intends to enhance the offer’ by €4-5 million in fixed fees, bringing it to €57-60 million and satisfying Atalanta’s request.
According to reports, the Dane is a ‘great’ fit for Erik ten Hag and possesses the ‘excellent traits’ to lead Manchester United’s assault. He is the Premier League club’s ‘obsession,’ but other striker targets, such as Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani, are options.
With all sides in agreement, Manchester United might lure Hjlund to Old Trafford if they make a compelling offer to Atalanta.
