AC Milan are expected to open discussions with Manchester United over signing Rasmus Hojlund, according to a report.
One target is set to vanish for Milan, as Fabrizio Romano confirms that Darwin Nunez is expected to join Al-Hilal. The agreement between the clubs is now ‘100% done’, he adds.
The initial fee will be €53m plus sizeable add-ons easy to reach to bring total package higher. Talks with the Uruguayan are ongoing to get the green light on personal terms.
Meanwhile, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement to acquire Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
The German club have accepted Newcastle’s offer of €82.5m + €2.5m in bonuses, but the Slovenian wants the Red Devils. The two clubs haven’t reached an agreement yet, but negotiations are nearing completion.
Genuine interest
Why does this matter? MilanNews are reporting that if United were to actually sign Sesko, then the situation surrounding Rasmus Hojlund would need to be clarified as he would be bumped down the pecking order.
Milan are genuinely interested in the Dane and will determine in the coming days whether they can sign him on loan with an option to buy. The alternative to consider is Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic.
Hojlund is not a stranger to Serie A, having shone for Atalanta which convinced United to spend around €83m on him. With the English side, he has 26 goals in 95 games.
