This morning, AC Milan have reluctantly found out that the price for Rasmus Hojlund has been increased by Manchester United.
The reason why Milan have started to look at other strikers is due to the price of the Dusan Vlahovic operation. Now, that same issue could emerge in the chase for Hojlund, who is the leading option for the Rossoneri, as it stands.
A loan-to-buy agreement could be the route taken by the club, with the Red Devils seemingly open to the idea. In fact, a report suggests that the offer has actually been made by United themselves, rather than it being an approach by the Diavolo.
Price increase
Now, the terms could be changing, though. As Ben Jacobs, a talkSPORT journalist, writes on X, the price for Hojlund is now €40 million, €10m higher than the previously understood number for his exit.
It is worth considering that RB Leipzig, who are selling Benjamin Sesko to the Manchester outfit, have discussed the idea, whilst interest from Saudi Arabia is present, of which teams would easily be able to afford the increased figure.
The possibility of Milan bringing in both Vlahovic and Hojlund has been internally discussed, but this would surely have an effect on that.
