Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli on a season-long loan with an obligation to make the move permanent. He moved to Manchester United in 2023 from Atalanta for a reported £64m (€74m) but struggled to establish himself, scoring 26 goals in 95 games. A busy summer of attacking signings at United pushed Hojlund down the pecking order, leading to his return to Serie A. Hojlund scored nine goals and provided two assists in 32 Serie A matches for Atalanta in 2022-23. Eljif Elmas rejoined Napoli on loan in a deal worth around €2m with an option to buy for €16m after limited playing time at RB Leipzig.
Hojlund has joined Napoli on a season-long loan deal, with the obligation to make the switch permanent. He signed for the Red Devils in 2023 from Atalanta for a reported £64m (€74m) transfer fee, but failed to make an impact during his time in the Premier League. The 22-year-old netted 26 goals in 95 outings across all competitions for United, and has fallen further down the pecking order following a busy summer of attacking arrivals.
Hojlund's return to Italy was not the only reunion taking place at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday, with Napoli confirming Eljif Elmas had returned to the club on loan. The deal is believed to be worth around €2m for the midfielder with an option to make the move permanent set at a further €16m. Elmas spent five years at Napoli before joining Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in 2024, arriving for a €23m transfer fee, but he struggled for game time during his first season.
