It is said that after Ruben Amorim made it clear that there was no place for him in his future plans, Hojlund had to accept to leave this summer If an agreement with Manchester United can be reached, he is already happy to accept Inter's offer and return to Italy in search of a new life, as long as the Red Devils agree.
The 22-year-old Danish centre-forward joined Manchester United from another "Nerazzurri" Atalanta in 2023, spending £72 million in transfer fees. After scoring 16 goals in their first season, their performances have slipped this season, with just 10 goals in 52 games, especially in the Premier League. Prior to March, he had been on a 21-game streak with many amateur errors.
However, he remains a favourite in Serie A, with Inter Milan keeping a close eye on Juventus and Napoli, with Inter Milan's sporting director Piero Osilio in London this week in talks with Manchester United and the player's agent about a potential transfer for Hojlund, according to the newspaper Sport.
While United want to sell it directly and permanently, Hojlund's poor performance means that there is no such buyer. Therefore, Inter's £38 million loan-to-buy contract is expected to be enough to convince the club to agree to the release. It is reported that the loan contract will stipulate that once Hojlund's performance reaches a certain standard, the team that finished as runners-up in Serie A and the Champions League this season will be obliged to buy out.
Prior to his move to Manchester United, Hojlund made 34 appearances for Atalanta, scoring 10 goals. Back on the familiar Apennine Peninsula, in the slower-paced continental league, he hopes to be like the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Mkhitaryan and others at the Meazza Stadium, and even win the title.
Hojlund's two years at Manchester United have seen poor performances in the Premier League, but his European goal efficiency has been okay, scoring 11 goals, suggesting that he may just not be suitable for English football.
There is still some work to be done, but United are hoping to get Hojlund to complete the transfer in time for Inter in the Club World Cup, and Inter are hopeful of his arrival. According to FIFA's arrangement, the special recruitment window for the Club World Cup will close on 10 June, with a few days to go.
According to Milan Sport, Inter Milan are expected to sign new coach Zivo on Friday, and the Romanian legend has accepted a two-year contract with an annual salary of 2 million euros, leaving Parma, who has been coached this season, to become a replacement for Inzaghi Jr., leading the team he played for when he was a player. As soon as Zivo agrees to bring in Hojlund, the deal will accelerate.
The Nerazzurri will face Mexico's Monterrey in the first match of the revamped Club World Cup on 18 June, followed by JFL's Urawa Red Diamonds and Argentinian powerhouse River Plate. Manchester United fans are also very concerned about whether the "freighter" can set sail in the United States, and the vast majority of Red Devils fans are looking forward to his departure.
Once Hojlund leaves, Amorim will have Zirkze and 17-year-old rookie Chetdo Obi as United's backup centre-forward next season, but he will not be short of tactical options as Cunha, Mbeumo and even Harry Maguire can all play as a cameo centre-forward and play better than Hojlund.
Manchester United are expected to bring in a new no.9 during the summer transfer window. At the moment, fans' confidence in the possible arrival of Dzhecherish has been reinvigorated, and the Portuguese sporting goalscorer is said to have been abandoned by other giants and may have no choice but to join Manchester United. The 27-year-old Swedish striker can't score as crazy goals in the Premier League as he does in the Portuguese Premier League, but he can outperform Hojlund no matter what.
