Giovanni Manna Targets £38m Hojlund Move — Manchester United Transfer News
Manchester United transfer news moved sharply on Wednesday when Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said the club will sign Rasmus Hojlund on a permanent deal this summer. Napoli plan to trigger the forward’s £38m release clause, putting a fixed price on a move that would take him out of Manchester United’s squad.
Giovanni Manna and Hojlund
Manna’s stance leaves little room for a drawn-out negotiation. Napoli are targeting Hojlund directly, and the clause gives them a set route to complete the transfer if they decide to press ahead. For Manchester United, that means the striker could leave for a defined fee rather than through a price that shifts in talks.
Hojlund is currently a Manchester United forward, and Napoli are described as pursuing him on a permanent deal. The £38m figure is the key number in the story because it is the mechanism that can settle the transfer quickly if Napoli activate it.
Premier League Clubs in View
The same roundup widened the transfer picture beyond Hojlund. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs keen on Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi, while Bournemouth are holding him back at any price this summer.
That creates a clear contrast inside the market. Napoli are being linked with a direct move for Hojlund through a clause, while Bournemouth are drawing interest in Kroupi but are not treating him as available. The spread of names also runs through other clubs, with leading English sides eyeing West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville and Inter Milan watching Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
Liverpool And Ajax
Liverpool also appear twice in the roundup. The club are keeping tabs on Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, and Arne Slot is set to stay at Liverpool despite rising pressure and interest from Ajax.
For readers tracking the summer market, the immediate takeaway is that the Hojlund clause gives Napoli a clean path if they want to move fast. The rest of the roundup shows how crowded the market is around Premier League talent, with several clubs circling the same names while others, like Bournemouth on Kroupi, are refusing to sell.
