MANCHESTER, England, June ⁠3 (Reuters) - Napoli have signed Denmark ⁠striker Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United ‌on a permanent deal for a 50 million euros ($58.08 million) fee after a successful loan spell, ​both clubs announced on ⁠Wednesday.

The 23-year-old Hojlund ⁠scored 16 goals in 44 appearances across all ⁠competitions ‌last season, helping Napoli win the Supercoppa Italiana and ⁠finish runners-up in Serie A.

The forward joined ​United ‌from Atalanta in 2023 and went on ⁠to ​score 26 goals in 95 appearances for the Premier League club.

He was also ⁠part of the United squad ​that lifted the FA Cup in May 2024, coming on as a substitute in ⁠the final against Manchester City at Wembley.

Hojlund returned to Italy at the start of the 2025-26 campaign on a ​season-long loan.

"Everyone at the ⁠club would like to wish Rasmus all ​the very best for ‌the future," United said ​in a statement.
