Napoli's offer includes an initial €5 million (£4.3m) loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent for €40m (£34.5m). This deal may be more appealing to Manchester United, as it could help the club lower the £30 million price tag for Hojlund's transfer. Hojlund's current contract with Manchester United lasts until 2028.

Manchester United remains willing to sell Hojlund, who has not had the most successful season at the club. He went 16 consecutive Premier League games without a goal last season, leading to some criticism from pundits. However, Napoli's interest in Hojlund could lead to a sale before the transfer window shuts next week.
