Inter Milan eye move for Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund

Inter Milan are reportedly set to make a formal bid for Manchester United forward Rasmus Højlund, according to Daily Mail sources. After several days of dialogue with the Danish striker’s camp, the Serie A giants are now preparing to approach United to determine their asking price for the 22-year-old.

Højlund made the switch to Old Trafford from Atalanta in 2023 with high expectations placed upon him. However, his journey in the Premier League has been a mixed experience. Over two seasons, he has made 95 appearances for the Red Devils, netting 26 goals and providing 6 assists. While those statistics hint at potential, the young attacker has struggled at times to maintain consistent form and adapt to the physical and tactical demands of English football.

Nevertheless, Højlund has offered glimpses of the qualities that made him a coveted prospect. His speed, strength in hold-up situations, and ability to exploit space behind defenses remain standout traits. These attributes have caught the attention of Inter Milan, who are aiming to reinforce their attacking department after falling short in the Champions League final. The club views Højlund as a long-term solution to lead their front line.

Insiders close to the situation indicate that Inter’s interest is genuine. Conversations with Højlund’s representatives have gone smoothly, suggesting the forward could be open to a return to Serie A. The next stage will involve formal negotiations with Manchester United, with the Italian club expected to request a valuation in the coming days.

On the international scene, Højlund continues to build his reputation. He has earned 22 caps for Denmark and scored 7 goals, positioning himself as a key figure in the national team setup. His dynamic style and sharp finishing have drawn comparisons to some of Scandinavia’s most iconic strikers. Many believe a move back to Italy could help unlock his full potential at club level.

Transfermarkt currently values the Danish international at €35 million, a drop from his peak valuation of €65 million in October 2023. Despite this decline, interest in his services remains high across Europe.

Inter are not alone in their pursuit. Reigning Serie A champions Napoli are also reported to be keeping tabs on the striker’s situation, hoping to bring him back to familiar territory. With the 2025–26 season approaching, several clubs are expected to reshape their squads, and Højlund could be one of the more sought-after names if United indicate he is available.

The upcoming weeks will be crucial as Inter Milan look to reshape their roster following a tough end to their European campaign. Højlund’s prior experience in Serie A, combined with his age and room for development, makes him a particularly attractive target. A potential transfer could suit both parties—giving Inter a promising forward and allowing United flexibility under their new coaching regime.

Whether Højlund stays in Manchester or returns to Italy remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: his future is likely to be one of the defining storylines of this summer’s transfer window.
