Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund endured another frustrating evening on Wednesday, as the Red Devils lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final.
Such games are becoming the norm for the Dane, and he could be on his way out of Old Trafford in the summer, amidst links with Juventus over the past couple of weeks.
Corriere dello Sport today report Manchester United are open to letting Højlund depart, and the Red Devils will ‘happily cash in between €50m and €55m’ from the Denmark international’s sale.
Juve want to sign a new striker in the summer and while Victor Osimhen and Jonathan David are their main targets, the idea of signing the 22-year-old can gain momentum.
The clear belief in Turin is that the ex-Atalanta player would be quite a sensible target because of relatively his low wage demands, and Manchester United’s valuation is not expected to be a major problem.
The report points out that Juve would receive a hefty Champions League bonus from the club’s ownership, if they qualify for the competition. This will be used to potentially make a major move for a striker. So much so that Osimhen’s price tag of €85m will also not be problematic for the Old Lady.
Højlund presents a younger profile, and cheaper wages.
