Rasmus Hojlund is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Napoli, with the deal likely to be confirmed as soon as the Serie A side secure their place in next season's Champions League. The striker joined Napoli on loan last summer, with Manchester United including a conditional obligation to buy for £38 million.
The terms of the agreement stipulate that Napoli must sign Hojlund permanently if they qualify for Europe's top competition. The reigning Italian champions currently sit second in Serie A, but a recent dip in form has left them just five points clear of sixth-placed Como.
Napoli travel to relegation-threatened Pisa on Sunday, and a victory would guarantee Champions League football regardless of other results. Should they slip up, however, they could yet finish as low as sixth, which would leave Hojlund's future uncertain.
The Denmark international has enjoyed a productive season, topping Napoli's scoring charts with 14 goals across all competitions. Despite a recent barren spell, manager Antonio Conte has defended the 23-year-old, praising his energy and room for improvement.
The move would represent Manchester United's second summer exit, following the confirmation that Casemiro will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires.
