Napoli have confirmed the permanent signing of Hojlund. |
According to the latest revelation from Fabrizio Romano, Napoli has officially confirmed that they will activate the mandatory buy-out clause for Rasmus Hojlund in the summer of 2026. The total value of the deal is 50 million euros, including 44 million euros in fixed fees and 6 million euros in performance-based bonuses.
Hojlund joined Napoli on a loan deal with an option to buy amidst uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford. In Serie A, the Danish striker quickly rediscovered his form. He adapted well to his new environment, regularly featured in the starting lineup, and brought new life to the Southern Italian team's attack.
Napoli's decision to sign Hojlund permanently was not surprising. The club's management highly valued his movement, fitness, and fighting spirit. More importantly, he fit the attacking philosophy the coach is building, where forwards must operate wide, withstand high pressure, and create their own opportunities.
For Manchester United, this is rare good news amidst tight finances. After several seasons of ineffective transfers, the "Red Devils" are forced to balance their budget and prioritize offloading players who are no longer part of their long-term plans. The €50 million from Napoli is seen as a crucial resource for the club's management to invest in the summer of 2026.

Hojlund has been a disappointment at MU. |
Hojlund was once expected to become Manchester United's main striker. However, the pressure of the Premier League, the fierce competition, and the inconsistency in his playing style prevented him from fulfilling his potential. Leaving Old Trafford is seen as a turning point that will help the 22-year-old revitalize his career.
Conversely, Man Utd now have more room to restructure their attack. The money raised could be used to recruit a striker better suited to the new tactical direction, or to invest in other key positions.
The Hojlund deal therefore has a two-way meaning. Napoli gets the striker they trust for their long-term plans. And Manchester United, after many controversial transfer decisions, are finally about to receive a significant budget to start anew.
