Danish Striker Insists on Honoring Contract Until 2030 as Inter Milan Negotiations Stall
Rasmus Hojlund has made it clear he intends to remain at Manchester United this summer, despite the club putting him up for sale following two underwhelming seasons. The 22-year-old striker, who joined the Red Devils in 2023 for a hefty €75 million fee, has struggled to live up to expectations and is no longer part of manager Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Inter Milan have shown strong interest in signing Hojlund, with sporting director Piero Ausilio flying to England this week to discuss a potential deal. However, the two clubs remain far apart in their valuations—United are holding out for around €60 million, while Inter are only willing to offer between €40-45 million.
When questioned about his future after Denmark’s 2-1 friendly victory over Northern Ireland on Saturday, Hojlund remained defiant. “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United,” he stated.
Hojlund’s time at Old Trafford has been marked by frustration. After a slow start in his debut season, where he failed to score a Premier League goal before Christmas, he showed slight improvement later in the campaign. However, his second season was another disappointment, netting just four league goals as United’s attacking struggles continued.
Once regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young forwards during his time at Atalanta—where he scored 15 goals in the first half of 2023—Hojlund has failed to replicate that form in England. With Amorim now prioritizing a new elite striker, United are eager to offload him to free up funds for reinforcements.
Despite the club’s willingness to sell, Hojlund’s determination to stay could complicate matters. Will United find a compromise with Inter, or will the Dane get another chance to prove himself at Old Trafford? The coming weeks will be crucial in deciding his fate.
