AC Milan Explore Loan Deal for Rasmus Højlund, But Striker Holds Firm on Manchester United Stay
Milan are sounding out a deal for Rasmus Højlund, proposing a paid loan with an option to buy. The player, however, isn’t yet ready to leave Old Trafford.
AC Milan have begun quietly probing the possibility of bringing Rasmus Højlund to the San Siro, opening discussions through intermediaries about what a potential deal might look like. Early indications point to a structured offer: a €6 million loan fee, a €45 million option-to-buy clause, and full coverage of the Danish striker’s wages.
The approach reflects Milan’s interest in adding a physically strong, mobile centre-forward who can slot into Stefano Pioli’s attack. Højlund, who joined Manchester United in 2023 from Atalanta, fits that profile. Yet, despite not getting a single minute on the pitch in United’s latest outing, he remains intent on staying and fighting for his place at Old Trafford
So far, no formal agreement has been reached—largely because the player’s stance is clear. United may be open to considering a deal under the right conditions, but without Højlund’s consent, talks can’t progress beyond exploratory stages.
For Milan, the interest is part of a broader push to secure attacking reinforcements before the window closes. For United, it’s a decision that balances squad depth against the opportunity to cash in on a sizeable loan fee and potential permanent transfer.
Until the striker signals willingness to leave, however, the proposed move remains more theory than reality.
