Manchester United agree transfer fee for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United have agreed a £72million fee with Atalanta for striker Rasmus Hojlund. United secured an agreement on Saturday morning for £64m with £8m in add-ons.
Hojlund, 20, has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the option of an additional year. Atalanta were still demanding £77m for Hojlund as early as this week and, although United negotiated the price down, they have caved in as they were reluctant to pay more than £60m.
United have now spent £162.9m in up-front fees for Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount this summer. With add-ons, they have invested £179.2m.
