Rasmus Hojlund Gets Premier League Rescue Bid as AC Milan Battle Intensifies
Fulham have emerged as the most recent club to consider pursuing Manchester United forward Rasmus Højlund, according to new reports.
Although Højlund publicly expressed his commitment to staying at United during the summer transfer window, he now faces a crucial decision about his future after the club secured Benjamin Šeško, who alongside other new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, is expected to receive the bulk of playing time this campaign.
Latest reports suggest Højlund is now receptive to leaving United, with the club reportedly willing to sell for an appropriate fee, while the Daily Mail indicates the Danish striker could potentially revive his Premier League journey at Fulham.
With Fulham anticipating the potential exit of Rodrigo Muniz to Atalanta, they have reportedly included Højlund among their prospective transfer targets.
Fulham's pursuit remains in preliminary stages, with the Cottagers making clear they will only advance their interest if Højlund shows willingness to join Marco Silva's squad.
Højlund has attracted numerous suitors. Borussia Dortmund have been mentioned as potential buyers, though the most serious interest appears to come from AC Milan, who are seeking a loan arrangement for the 22-year-old.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Milan approached Højlund's agents this week to express their continued interest in securing a deal. The feedback from Milan's standpoint was encouraging, with Højlund's father reportedly directly acknowledging the striker's enthusiasm for the potential transfer.
Though United would favor an outright sale, they are understood to be willing to consider a loan arrangement including a purchase option. Milan seeks a buy option but remains hesitant to meet United's financial expectations so far.
A valuation exceeding €40 million (£34.4 million, $46.6 million) has been established, along with a €6 million loan fee, though Milan prefers to keep total costs below €40 million.
Højlund personally would favor seeing interested clubs commit to a permanent acquisition, potentially through a mandatory purchase clause within a loan agreement, but such proposals have yet to reach Old Trafford.
