PSG and United are competing for the signing of Rasmus Højlund
Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly made an offer of 50 million euros for Rasmus Højlund, according to the French newspaper L’Équipe. PSG has entered the race for the Atalanta player, but Manchester United remains in the lead. However, the English club knows they will now have to improve their bid.
According to information from The Athletic, the Red Devils have also made a 50 million euros offer, plus an additional 10 million euros in bonuses. However, the Italian team is seeking at least 70 million euros plus extras. Nevertheless, in recent days, the Italian club has hinted at lowering their demands.
The Danish player is at the top of Manchester United’s priority list in this transfer window. Hence, the English club is considered the favorite to sign the player. On the other hand, PSG has been considering the striker since June and promises to make a significant investment to try to secure Rasmus Højlund.
PSG and United will be competing for the player’s signature
The PSG board is seeking a major overhaul of their squad for the upcoming European season. The club has already offloaded several players and is actively looking at various market options. The management aims to strengthen their attack, especially after a conflict with Mbappe, and has entered into several player pursuits.
This week, the club joined Manchester United in the race for the Serie A star. At only 20 years old, Højlund has been impressive both in the Italian Serie A and during the Euro 2024 qualifiers. In his debut season at Atalanta, he played 34 games, scored 10 goals, and provided 4 assists.
He has made quite an impression with the Danish national team: in 4 games played in 2023, he scored 6 goals in 3 matches. Højlund has shone during the Euro qualifiers, showcasing great speed and deadly accuracy in front of the goal.
Top European clubs remain focused on the center-forward. Rasmus Højlund’s name might continue to make headlines during the transfer window. The promising young Danish player is seen as having the potential to become one of the best in the world in the future, which is why PSG and Manchester United are interested in him.
