Man Utd expect to agree €70m deal for Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers during the current transfer window, but Manchester United are reported to be hopeful of beating off competition for the Atalanta star. The 20-year-old Dane, who has managed six goals in six Euro qualifiers games, has been on United’s radar all summer. The Red Devils have already reached an agreement on personal terms with Hojlund and are actively negotiating with the Serie A outfit to lower their asking price – currently reported to be set at 80 million euros (£68.5m). As per Gianluca Di Marzio, the upcoming weekend is going to be decisive, as United expect to strike a discount deal for 70 million (£60m) plus bonuses. All parties hope to close the deal in the coming days.

The Blues are frustrated and reportedly unwilling to increase their offer further, and know Lavia is available for around £50m. The Athletic report he is their next target. Liverpool have seen a bid worth around £40m for the Southampton youngster rejected as they look to replace Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
