Report – Inter Milan & Manchester United Open Talks For Ex Atalanta Striker
Negotiations between Inter Milan and Manchester United over Rasmus Hojlund are reportedly off and running. Per Sky Sport Deutschland via FCInterNews, the Italians have made the 22-year-old a 'concrete' target for the summer. Advertisement Manchester United forked out around €70 million plus bonuses to acquire the Dane's signature in 2023. However, his career at Old Trafford has been an unmitigated disaster. In addition to a lackluster scoring record, the ex-Atalanta center-forward has struggled for regular first-team football. Therefore, an early return to Serie A could be on the cards. Inter Milan & Manchester United Launch Talks for Rasmus Holjund MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 02: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United in action during the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC at Old Trafford on February 02, 2025 in Manchester, England.

Indeed, Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa are on their way out, leaving Simone Inzaghi strapped for senior attacking options. Advertisement Furthermore, Taremi's first season at Giuseppe Meazza was an utter disappointment. As such, the Serie A runners-up have prioritized a move for a new goal-getter, with Hojlund emerging as an ideal solution. Meanwhile, the Red Devils will listen to offers for their out-of-sorts star. While Hojlund won't come cheap, Inter may try to sign him on loan with an option to buy.

Juventus make initial contact for Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund
Serie A giants Juventus are keen on signing a striker in the summer and have come forward for Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund. Calciomercato's Daniele Longo has reported that Dusan Vlahovic is destined to leave Juve in the summer and even though Arek Milik has signed a new deal, the Bianconeri will sign a new striker amidst the uncertainty surrounding Randal Kolo-Muani. Advertisement They had initially tried to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United. While sporting director Cristiano Guintoli had an agreement in hand with his agent Kia Joorabchian, Ruben Amorim's arrival changed everything. Now, the Old Lady have made initial contact for Hojlund and after contact, they have decided to move concretely for the Dane, who has struggled for the Red Devils this season. They will look to make the first move soon, as they look to beat competition for the ex-Atalanta player. Napoli have also been linked with the Manchester United player in recent weeks.

Man United asking price for Juventus target Hojlund revealed
Man United asking price for Juventus target Hojlund revealed Juventus have set their sights on Rasmus Hojlund, but Manchester United have reportedly placed a €60m price tag on the ex-Atalanta star. Juventus are among the clubs interested in Manchester United forward Hojlund, and according to recent reports, the Old Lady has already opened preliminary talks to sign the Denmark international. Advertisement TMW adds more details, claiming that Manchester United may consider Hojlund's sale over the summer, but will only listen to offers of at least €60m. Man United asking price for Juventus target Hojlund revealed The Red Devils have targeted Viktor Gyökeres and Victor Osimhen to strengthen their attack in 2025-26, so Hojlund could be allowed to leave Old Trafford in the summer. Tuttosport reported on Friday morning that Hojlund was interested in a Juventus move. The Bianconeri reportedly aim to secure a deal with Manchester United before the Club World Cup begins in mid-June, but they are unlikely to match the Red Devils' asking price and may initially negotiate a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.

Italy Coach Reaffirms Inter Star After Germany Disaster
Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti holds Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni in high esteem and will continue to trust him. During his pre-game interview ahead of Italy's must-win Nations League second-leg clash against Germany via Calciomercato, Spalletti reaffirmed Bastoni's status within the national team. Deployed slightly out of position, Alessandro Bastoni flopped in Thursday's encounter at the San Siro. Indeed, he lost track of Tim Kleindienst and Leon Goretzka as Germany came from behind to beat Italy 2-1 on this soil for the first time since 1986. Inter boss Simone Inzaghi often plays the 25-year-old as left center-back. Furthermore, he has recently used him on the left wing to compensate for Federico Dimarco's absence. However, Spalletti switched Bastoni to the center on Thursday, which backfired on Italy. Bastoni's underwhelming performance didn't sit well with the local media, as numerous domestic outlets blasted the ex-Atalanta rearguard for his blunders. However, Bastoni's place at Italy remains cemented, as per Spalletti. 'Bastoni will play. I spoke with him about deploying him as the central defender in a back three, and in my opinion, he did very well in that position. He and Buongiorno are strong players who should be able to coexist even when Calafiori returns,' Spaletti stated. Despite Mattia Zaccagni's formidable form at Lazio, he is yet to establish himself as a permanent fixture at Italy. 'He's a winger in a 4-3-3 formation, and he has improved offensively by moving inside because at Lazio, he has an attacking full-back behind him.' the Italy boss added. 'Starting him from the beginning is a bit risky; it would be ideal to bring him on later when quality is needed. He can play Politano's role on the wing.'
