Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund has shown interest in sealing his Old Trafford exit after reigning Serie A champions Napoli have entered fresh discussions in an attempt to get the deal over the line before the transfer window slams shut, according to GIVEMESPORT senior reporter Fabrizio Romano.
Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has splashed the cash to improve his squad, with Benjamin Sesko on course to become his first-choice marksman following a switch worth up to £73.7million from RB Leipzig earlier this month, and there is still time to conduct further business before the September 1 deadline.

Rasmus Hojlund in action for Manchester United
Hojlund is keen to complete a move to Napoli after the Italian heavyweights entered fresh talks with Manchester United in the last 24 hours, GMS journalist Romano has revealed on social media, but he is seeking assurances that he would have a long-term future at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
The striker was not included in the Red Devils' matchday squad for their narrow defeat against Arsenal last weekend, highlighting Amorim's willingness to sanction his departure, and he has given indications that he is prepared to embark on a fresh challenge instead of settling for limited game time in his current surroundings.
Romano has confirmed that Hojlund's representatives are holding discussions with Napoli as he is interested in joining from Manchester United, despite still having three years remaining on his £85,000-per-week contract, but he is not prepared for a straight loan deal as he wants guarantees that he would have a long-term future on their books.
The Denmark international has been at Old Trafford since making a switch worth up to £72million from Atalanta, but he has struggled to rediscover the form he enjoyed in Italy and is poised to be handed the opportunity to move onto pastures new before the transfer window closes.
