Hojlund Joins Napoli Permanently After Champions League Clause Is Triggered

Napoli’s purchase frees roughly €50m that Manchester United can use in its summer rebuild.

Overview

  • Both Manchester United and Napoli confirmed on Wednesday, June 3 that Rasmus Hojlund’s season-long loan has converted into a permanent transfer after Napoli secured Champions League qualification.
  • Reports say the package comprises a €6m loan fee paid last summer plus a €44m mandatory purchase fee, a total of about €50m to United.
  • Hojlund scored 16 goals in 44 appearances for Napoli this season and played a direct role in the club’s Supercoppa Italiana win and second-place Serie A finish.
  • Italian outlets report Hojlund’s new Napoli contract runs until June 2030 and includes an €85m release clause that can be activated from next summer.
  • The deal closes a three‑year chapter after United signed Hojlund from Atalanta in 2023 and leaves Manchester United positioned to reinvest the proceeds as they reshape the squad under Michael Carrick.
