Milan speeds up to 'rescue' Hojlund from MU

Hojlund has run out of chances at MU.

Although initially hoping to compete for a starting spot despite the arrival of Benjamin Sesko, a meeting between Hojlund's representatives and the MU leadership has closed the door on that. Not playing a single minute in the friendly against Fiorentina on August 9 was just a warning, and Amorim himself confirmed that the situation will not change when the Premier League starts this weekend.

This is good news for AC Milan, who have put Hojlund at the top of their list of strikers. In the past two days, the Rossoneri have accelerated negotiations with MU, both through intermediaries and in direct contact with the player.

The two sides have agreed on the principle of a loan transfer with a buyout clause, but there are still financial differences. Milan value Hojlund at around 35 million euros, including a 3-4 million loan fee and a 30-32 million buyout clause. MU wants more: 7-8 million loan fee and a total package of 40-45 million euros (plus bonuses). This gap could narrow quickly if Hojlund officially gives the green light.

On August 12, the appearance of Technical Director Tare at the Carnago training center, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also present, showed that the deal is heating up. Coach Max Allegri is expected to directly call to convince Hojlund, as Milan wants to close the deal this week to avoid competition from teams participating in the Champions League. Speed will be the deciding factor, similar to the way the "Rossoneri" brought De Winter in just 48 hours.

AC Milan are speeding up the recruitment of Hojlund.

If Hojlund is not available, Milan has prepared a plan B. When loaning Camarda to Lecce, they asked for the price of Nikola Krstovic - a striker valued at 30 million euros, currently in the sights of Roma and many other clubs. In addition, Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen) and Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) are also being considered. As for Jackson, Milan had indirect contact with the player's representative in London last weekend.

Despite the many problems, Milan’s confidence in the possibility of recruiting Hojlund is clearly increasing. If everything goes smoothly, the “Rossoneri” can completely own the Danish striker this August, adding a spearhead capable of shouldering the attack in the new season.
