Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United plan on finally submitting a bid for Atalanta target Rasmus Hojlund, with the striker ‘keen’ on a move.
United are keen to sign the 20-year-old this summer, but have been waiting to secure a deal for Andre Onana first after David De Gea left the club as a free agent.
Fabrizio revealed that Atalanta would be looking for around €70m for their striker, but said the the Dane is ‘super keen’ on a move to the Premier League.
“They never sent any official bid. At the moment, they had some exchanges with Atalanta, through intermediaries, to understand how much they wanted. From what I’m told, it is something around €70 million.”

“This is the potential fee for Rasmus Hojlund, so let’s see how the conversations between Atalanta and Manchester United go,” he added.
“From what I’m told, the player is super keen on the move. Hojlund wants to try a top club experience. He was a United fan as a kid, so Hojlund is super keen on a move to United. He is the target, number one for Manchester United right now.”
United have now nearly complete the signing of Onana, as the Inter goalkeeper is reportedly on his way to Manchester to complete medicals ahead of joining.
