Despite Paris Saint-Germain’s interest, Manchester United continue to hold the edge in the race to sign Rasmus Hojlund.

Alfredo Pedulla claims that Man Utd and the striker have reached an agreement on a contract that will pay him about 4.5 million euros a year, plus bonuses, or about £75,000 per week.

According to the renowned writer, the 20-year-old has persisted in emphasising his desire to go to Old Trafford.

The transfer issue is anticipated to reach a critical point this week, and Atalanta is requesting a sum of about 80 million euros (70 million fixed and 10 million in add-ons).

If United agree to offer about £64.8 million (75 million euros – 65 million fixed and 9–10 million in add-ons), according to Pedulla, a deal might be concluded.

For some reason, Corriere dello Sport’s story today included an extremely low estimate of only 45 million euros.

However, according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Atalanta wants 80 million euros for Hojlund and is interested in El Bilal Toure, an Almeria centre striker, to take his position.

The Danish international, in Erik ten Hag’s opinion, is the ideal centre forward to support the No. 9 spot at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils won’t be able to compete with teams like Arsenal and Man City for the Premier League title next season without a prolific goal scorer.
