Milan’s pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund has stalled, as the Danish striker hesitated over a loan move from Manchester United that lacked an obligation to buy. Instead, the Rossoneri have turned their attention to Victor Boniface, negotiating a similar loan with an option to make it permanent next summer. Napoli are also in the market for a striker after Romelu Lukaku picked up a thigh injury that could sideline him for four months.
Hojlund, 22, recently stated he wanted to stay at United despite mixed performances over his first two seasons. But his future looks uncertain following the club’s £73.7m signing of Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian forward debuted against Arsenal, while Hojlund was left unused in pre-season and dropped entirely from the Premier League opener. Manager Ruben Amorim explained that Hojlund and Sesko share “similar characteristics.”
