Napoli have completed the permanent signing of Denmark international striker Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United, following a successful loan period, both clubs confirmed on Wednesday.
The deal is worth €44 million, plus the €6 million loan fee previously paid to United, which will help fund the Premier League club's rebuild this summer. The 23-year-old forward scored 16 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions last season, helping Napoli win the Supercoppa Italiana and finish second in Serie A.
Hojlund initially joined Manchester United from Atalanta in 2023 for £72 million, scoring 26 goals in 95 appearances. He won the FA Cup with United in May 2024, coming on as a substitute in the final against Manchester City.
After a season-long loan at Napoli under former head coach Ruben Amorim, Hojlund has now made the move permanent. Manchester United confirmed the news on their website, stating: 'Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli on a permanent transfer. Everyone at the club would like to wish Rasmus all the very best for the future.'
