"We did everything we could to sign him, There were more storied clubs interested, but his will was crucial, and we are proud of it. There's an option to buy and an obligation to buy if we qualify for the Champions League. The player considers himself a Napoli player, and the same goes for us. This is extremely important."
"As of today, I think so."
Napoli expect Rasmus Højlund's loan from Manchester United to be converted into a permanent transfer, with an option to buy and an obligation triggered if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. Højlund joined on loan last summer and has scored nine goals in 20 appearances for Napoli, including a brace in a 2-0 win at Cremonese. The 22-year-old previously moved from Atalanta to Manchester United for £64m plus add-ons and scored 14 goals in 62 Premier League appearances. The reported Napoli fee is €44m, and his United replacement Benjamin Sesko has struggled with just two Premier League goals so far.
