Hojlund Says He Has Rediscovered Joy at Napoli as Club Signals Permanent Move

His revival in Italy positions Napoli to keep him under a Champions League‑linked purchase clause.

Overview

  • Hojlund told Denmark’s TV2 that he once feared his career was slipping away but feels reborn at Napoli and grateful for the chance to reset.
  • He has produced 13 goals and two assists across Serie A and the Champions League, becoming a key piece under manager Antonio Conte.
  • Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said the club has an obligation to buy the striker from Manchester United if they qualify for the Champions League and plans to keep him.
  • The forward struggled to find consistency at Old Trafford, finishing with 26 goals in 95 games after a 2023 move from Atalanta reported at £64m plus £8m in add‑ons.
  • He said his form now feeds into Denmark duty, targeting a World Cup play‑off win over Macedonia and expressing confidence about qualification.
