With Manchester United apparently getting the signing of André Onana from Inter Milan done, they should now start moving for other targets, and the pursuit of Rasmus Højlund from Aatlanta seems to be heating up.
On Tuesday, we first saw Corriere Di Bergamo urging Atalanta to not waste time in holding off for huge sums of money, followed by Sky Italia then claiming the Red Devils are about to start their ‘assault’ for the centre-forward.
The reporter says that after signing Onana, the Red Devils are ‘focusing’ on the Danish striker, who’s always been Erik ten Hag’s ‘first-choice’.
It’s said that Manchester United’s next offer could be of between €53m and €55m, and the bonuses could make it ‘break’ the €60m ceiling.
Atalanta, however, request a little more. It’s said they want €60m up front, plus bonuses.
Pedulla points out the ‘gap is not that wide’ and the negotiations should now carry on, with the player clearly has a move to Manchester United ‘at the top of his thoughts’.
