Manchester United said goodbye to Rasmus Højlund. The 23-year-old Danish striker permanently reinforces Napoli, after having played for the Italian club on loan last season. The center forward's new contract extends until 2030.
Signed by the Red Devils in the summer of 2023, for a fee of around 80 million euros, Højlund has failed to establish himself consistently in England. For United, he played 95 games, with 26 goals and 4 assists.
In Naples, the Dane rediscovered his best performance during the most recent season, a scenario that led Napoli to move towards his permanent acquisition. According to available information, the deal was closed for around 44 million euros.
Before arriving in Manchester, Højlund represented FC Copenhagen, Sturm Graz and Atalanta. He is capped by Denmark on 39 occasions. The CV highlights winning the FA Cup in 2024 with Manchester United.
