Rasmus Hojlund is now open to joining AC Milan after realising that his time at Manchester United is over for the time being.
Over the past few days, it has been reported that Milan and United made good progress in talks over a deal for Hojlund. However, the final step to complete things was the player accepting the move, which hadn’t been forthcoming yet.
Hojlund gives green light
According to the Manchester Evening News, Hojlund is now in fact ‘open to joining AC Milan’. United are ‘confident a deal can be struck with Milan’, and there is even the possibility that it could be a permanent deal.
The Red Devils value Hojlund at around £30million (around €34.6m) and Milan ‘are seeking a loan move’ for the 22-year-old. The Dane was supposedly keen to stay at Old Trafford and fight for a spot but has now changed his mind, realising his current situation.
Benjamin Sesko was introduced to United fans in a friendly against Fiorentina over the weekend after his €80m move from RB Leipzig, and Hojlund was an unused substitute in the 1-1 draw. Ruben Amorim even used playmakers Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha up front in the last two games.
MEN state that ‘sources close to Hojlund felt he would have to leave if Sesko came in’ even though he ‘is unhappy at United seemingly forcing him out’. However, his stance of wanting to remain has now softened, and things with Milan could accelerate.
