Atalanta slap eye-watering price tag on Rasmus Hojlund amid Chelsea & Man Utd interest

Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund has drummed up interest from Europe’s top clubs and is a player to watch out for in the transfer market.

The Danish sensation has grown in stature following an impressive debut season with Atalanta while also showcasing his potential with the national team in the European Championship qualifiers months ago.

La Dea are embraced for more offers for their talented prospect, but they could make things difficult for the suitors with their ridiculous valuation.

According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A outfit are willing to do business with the interested parties for no less than €100 million.

Manchester United and Chelsea are among the clubs keeping tabs on Hojlund, but they may have second thoughts after discovering staggering price tag.

Hojlund is undoubtedly one of the best up-and-coming young talents in Europe, but €100m is too steep for him.

United have withdrawn from the pursuit of Harry Kane, turning their attention towards alternative options such as Hojlund.

The 20-year-old is far from being a finished product, and it would be a huge risk for the Red Devils to splash the cash on him.

Chelsea could struggle to make expensive transfers due to Financial Fair Play rules, which drives down the chances of a potential move unless Atalanta are ready to negotiate for Hojlund.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the race, while Juventus are also closely monitoring his situation.

Hojlund recently changed his agency to SEG, which also represents Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag, handing the Old Trafford outfit a huge advantage in the transfer race.

The former Sturm Graz star is expected to be in action for Denmark’s Eur0 2024 qualifying game against Northern Ireland this weekend.
