MANCHESTER UNITED AND RASMUS HØJLUND TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY

According to reports, Manchester United have made their first verbal bid for Rasmus Højlund. The report also claims that the bid is 60 million. They are offering 50 million plus 10 million in add-ons for the striker. Atlanta are demanding at least 70 million. However, they have not accepted or rejected the first bid from the Red Devils.

Atlanta are aware that Rasmus Højlund has agreed personal terms with Manchester United. However, Rasmus Højlund has a long-term contract with the Serie A side. Hence, Atlanta will stand firm on their 70 million valuation. However, the Red Devils are also working on signing the striker. They want Rasmus Højlund as their marquee signing this summer transfer window.

PSG ARE ALSO KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THE SITUATION

According to reports, Paris Saint Germain are also in contact with the agent of Rasmus Højlund. However, they have not agreed personal terms with the striker. Therefore, at the moment, Manchester United lead the race for his signature. Although, PSG are persistent on having talks. They are hoping to build a team that can win games without Kylian Mbappe in their team.

Manchester United currently feel that they have done the groundwork for the signing of Rasmus Højlund. They also feel that they can agree a fee with Atlanta this summer. The Red Devils are also sure that the striker wants to play in the Premier League. Atlanta are also working hard on his replacement. They are close to completing the signing of El Bilal Touré from Almeria.

Manchester United fans will feel happy with the potential arrival of Rasmus Højlund and the arrival of Andre Onana. This is because manager Erik Ten Hag wanted the striker and goalkeeper position long-term problems solved before the start of the season.
