Serie A giants Napoli are now very close to sealing a double move for RB Leipzigโs Eljif Elmas and Manchester Unitedโs Rasmus Hojlund.
Corriere dello Sport report that Napoli worked closely yesterday to make key progress in the two moves.
Sporting director Giovanni Manna and owner Aurelio de Laurentiis stayed together until late evening, talking with Manchester United and Rasmus Hojlundโs agents to finalize a deal thatโs now almost done.
The Dane is already ready to fly to Italy today and undergo a medical at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome before signing the contract. A definitive agreement between the two clubs was needed. Yesterday was crucial and things have moved in the right direction.
The striker will arrive on an initial โฌ5 million loan with an option to buy set at โฌ40 million, which becomes mandatory if Napoli qualify for the Champions League, and a possible 10% interest on any future resale
The same applies for the Elmas situation, with the midfielder set to arrive in Italy today to undergo a medical and then seal a return to the Partenopei.ย
