Italian giant Inter Milan have ended their interest in signing Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund during this summer transfer window. Inter have opted to sign Parma number nine Ange-Yoan Bonny instead of seriously pursuing a deal for Hojlund this summer.
The Italian giants face financial restrictions, which have likely influenced their decision to sign Bonny. Meanwhile, the situation leaves Hojlund with one less interested party amid uncertainty surrounding his future with Man United this summer.
We All Follow United recently covered that AC Milan have entered the race to sign Hojlund from United this summer. The Red Devils could still use the 22-year-old forward to bolster their transfer funds this summer to sign new players.
According to The Athletic, Inter have ended their interest in signing Hojlund from Man United after signing Bonny from Parma. Meanwhile, United forward Hojlund remains available for sale for £34.5m, as covered by We All Follow United earlier in July.
United signed the Denmark international from Atalanta for £72m in the summer of 2023 to lead the club’s attacking department. The Red Devils cited a long-term solution as the reason to sign the 22-year-old over available stars like Harry Kane.
As Kane joined Bayern Munich and thrived at the topmost stage, Hojlund struggled to live up to the big expectations. The 22-year-old’s failure pushed the Red Devils to sign the Dutchman, Joshua Zirkzee, as the competition for Hojlund last summer.
However, both Zirkzee and Hojlund have failed to establish themselves as a reliable number nine under Ruben Amorim last season. The Portuguese boss needs a prolific number nine like Viktor Gyokeres, who dominated Liga Portugal at Sporting CP under him.
Whether United sign a new number nine is still an ongoing speculation, but Hojlund’s future remains uncertain at the club. Rest assured, the 22-year-old has incredible potential if he could turn things around at Old Trafford, but the situation is becoming more and more unlikely.
