The current summer transfer market is witnessing an expected competition between Lazio and Atalanta for the signing of Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, a player from Manchester United, amid the uncertainty surrounding his future with the English club.

Hojlund joined Manchester United in the summer of 2023 from Atalanta, on a contract that extends until 2028 with an option for an additional season. However, he has faced criticism due to inconsistency in his performance, coinciding with the club's moves to strengthen the attacking line with new signings this summer.

The website "Foot Mercato" reported that the player is highly regarded by Maurizio Sarri, Lazio's coach, which has made him one of the club's targets, while Atalanta has also considered him a serious option to bolster their attack in case Ademola Lookman, who is wanted by Inter Milan, departs.

So far, neither club has made an official offer to sign the player, while his high salary with Manchester United remains one of the main obstacles to his return to Serie A. It is worth noting that Hojlund, who is 22 years old, played 52 matches with the Red Devils last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 4 assists.
