Rasmus Hojlund has successfully concluded his medical assessment with Manchester United, paving the way for his £72 million transfer from Atalanta. The formal introduction of Hojlund is anticipated during United’s upcoming friendly match against Lens on Saturday.

Having emerged from negotiations, the Atalanta forward is poised to commit to a five-year contract, featuring the option for a further 12 months.

The comprehensive deal for Hojlund encompasses an initial payment of £64 million, complemented by an additional £8 million contingent upon performance-related achievements. It is noteworthy that Atalanta initially sought a guaranteed £77 million during the negotiations.

An official announcement of Hojlund’s signing is anticipated in the coming days, with the possibility of the 20-year-old Dane being showcased during the friendly encounter against Lens.

United’s fixture against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday could potentially allow sufficient time for Hojlund’s involvement, offering him an opportunity to feature in the team’s concluding pre-season game.

Confirming previous reports by Sky Sports News, Hojlund’s preference for Old Trafford rendered PSG’s interest in the Danish talent inconsequential.

Manchester United received a boost as Atalanta secured the signing of El Bilal Toure from Almeria. Coincidentally, Hojlund was excluded from the squad that contested a pre-season friendly against Bournemouth.

With United’s incoming transfers reaching their final stages, the likelihood of further acquisitions hinges on potential departures.

Key players such as Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Fred, and Donny van de Beek have garnered interest and may potentially depart.

Should such exits occur, Manchester United is reportedly prepared to engage in the market to secure suitable replacements.

The persistent interest in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat continues to be a notable focal point for the club’s future endeavors.
