We wish you the best of luck, Rasmus 🤝
The obligation to buy clause is set at €44 million, which Napoli will have to pay if they secure a Champions League spot. This move marks a new chapter for Hojlund as he joins Napoli from Manchester United.
Napoli has agreed to a loan deal for the 22-year-old Dane with an automatic buyout clause. The club will pay €6 million for the first season, and if they qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, they'll be obligated to buy the player for an additional €44 million.
The player's contract includes an €80 million sale clause, indicating Napoli's potential long-term investment. The Dane previously played for Atalanta in Italy three years ago, making him familiar with the Italian league. He's now ready to start his new adventure with Napoli.
Rasmus is proud to be one of us! ✨

During his two seasons at Manchester United, Hojlund played 95 games and scored 26 goals. His first season was impressive, with 16 goals in 43 games, but he struggled in the second season, scoring 10 goals in 52 games as the team finished 15th in the Premier League. Hojlund's departure from United comes after the signing of Benjamin Sesko pushed him down the pecking order.
At Napoli, Hojlund will likely become a key player, especially with Romelu Lukaku sidelined due to injury and Lorenzo Lucca being the sole forward. Napoli has also welcomed back Eljif Elmas, strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. Hojlund's contract with Napoli includes an €80 million sale clause, indicating the club's long-term investment in the player.
Hojlund's move to Napoli is seen as an opportunity for him to become a main man and showcase his skills in the Serie A. With his speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability, he could be a valuable addition to Antonio Conte's team. Hojlund previously played for Atalanta, where he scored 9 goals in 32 appearances, and is expected to make a significant impact in his new role.
