Serie A champions Napoli have confirmed their decision to sign striker Rasmus H\u00f8jlund on a permanent transfer after activating the \u20ac44 million buy clause in his loan agreement with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The decision was officially confirmed by Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna, who revealed that the club had already made up its mind to secure the Danish forward beyond his initial loan spell. Napoli had paid a \u20ac6 million loan fee last summer to bring H\u00f8jlund to Italy, and with the clause now triggered, the total value of the transfer package will reach \u20ac50 million.<\/p>\n
H\u00f8jlund joined Napoli on loan after struggling for consistency during his time at Manchester United. However, the young forward managed to revive his form in Serie A, convincing the club\u2019s management that he is worth keeping as part of their long-term attacking plans.<\/p>\n
The deal also represents important financial movement for Manchester United, who are currently looking to reshape their squad. With Napoli completing the permanent signing of H\u00f8jlund, the Premier League side will receive a total of \u20ac50 million from the transfer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
