Manchester United have officially confirmed the permanent transfer of striker Rasmus Hojlund to Serie A club Napoli for a fee of approximately £38 million.
The move follows a successful loan spell during the 2025-26 season, during which Napoli triggered a mandatory purchase clause by securing a top-four finish in Serie A.
Hojlund, who joined United from Atalanta in 2023, scored 26 goals in 95 appearances for the Red Devils and won the FA Cup in 2024.
During his loan at Napoli, he became the club's top scorer with 16 goals in 44 games, helping them finish as Serie A runners-up and win the Supercoppa Italiana.
Hojlund expressed mixed emotions about leaving Manchester United, a club he supported as a child, thanking the fans for their support.
His departure provides Manchester United with significant funds to reinvest in their squad under new head coach Michael Carrick.
Reports are already linking United with a potential £38 million move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, suggesting a swift reinvestment strategy.
This transfer marks a new chapter for both the player and Manchester United, as they look to rebuild and adapt for the future.
