Talks over a summer transfer are continuing as we speak and there is optimism from all three parties that a deal can be struck.

Juventus are in the market for a new number nine this summer as they have put Dusan Vlahovic up for sale.

Hojlund to Juventus talks

Hojlund has emerged as Juventus' number one target for the striker position and Tuttosport says that talks with Man Utd are ongoing to try and find an agreement.

United are demanding €60 million to sell the Denmark man but Juventus are hopeful of lowering that. They could even include a pawn as part-exchange such as Douglas Luiz.

It is reported by multiple sources that Manchester United have put Hojlund up for sale after a second disastrous season at the club.

Man Utd signed Hojlund in the summer of 2023 from Atalanta for €75 million plus €10m in add-ons.

The 22-year-old has struggled badly, failing to score a single Premier League goal before Christmas in his first season.

Despite picking up in the second half of the campaign, he has been a disaster in his second season.

Hojlund has just three Premier League goals all season and United have now given up on the striker as they play for next season.

Ruben Amorim has made the signing of a top-class number nine one of his priorities for the summer transfer window.

Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Liam Delap are among the strikers who are on United's shortlist.

United need to sell Hojlund first to raise funds for their incoming players.

Hojlund exploded in the first half of 2023 at Atalanta as one of the most exciting young talents in European football.

He scored 15 goals in the calendar year for club and country prior to his move to Man Utd.

However, he has failed badly to fulfil his potential at United.

Elsewhere, Santi Aouna reports that Manchester United have added Moise Kean to their shortlist of striker targets this summer.

Kean, a former Juventus striker, has enjoyed a brilliant season at Fiorentina, scoring 23 goals in all competitions. He is available for his €50 million release clause for July 1 to July 15 inclusive.
