Hojlund crucial moment as Napoli accept Manchester United terms

Thursday is the day for Napoli to finalise all the details for Rasmus Hojlund , as today there were intensive talks with Manchester United , ready to accept the obligation to buy.

The centre-forward has been their first choice for at least 10 days, ever since the injury to Romelu Lukaku was confirmed to be serious, requiring a strong replacement.

Now the situation has progressed to the point where it should be resolved within 24 hours , as Thursday is going to be the decisive moment for these negotiations.

There were non-stop talks today with calls and dialogues, as Napoli are ready to make the Premier League side happy by accepting a loan with obligation to buy at easy to achieve conditions.

The plan originally had been for a loan with option to buy for a total €45m, becoming an obligation with Champions League qualification and a certain number of appearances throughout the season.

Now the Partenopei are prepared to accept the Manchester United demands and make it almost a guarantee they will buy Hojlund outright.
