Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund was fantastic for Atalanta, although a little fresh before he arrived at Old Trafford, and was weighed too lightly. Back in Serie A on loan to Napoli and Antonio Conte, the Dane has once again “woken up” in front of the opponents’ goal.
As several media outlets and transfer journalists, including Fabrizio Romano, have described, the loan deal includes a €44 million purchase option. Napoli must take advantage of it if the club qualifies for the Champions League. On Sunday, it was all decided.
