AC Milan are interested in signing Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund, despite the Danish forward recently affirming his commitment to staying at Old Trafford.
Just over a week ago, Højlund told reporters following a 4-1 preseason win over Bournemouth in Chicago that he intended to fight for his place in the squad under new manager Rúben Amorim.
However, United have since agreed terms with RB Leipzig for Slovenia international Benjamin Šeško, who is expected to be unveiled at Old Trafford ahead of Saturday’s friendly against Fiorentina. His arrival could push Højlund further down the pecking order.
Several clubs have reportedly shown interest in the 23-year-old, with United open to negotiating his departure.
Among them, AC Milan are understood to be keen, though constrained by financial limitations due to their absence from European competitions this season.
Milan are said to prefer an initial loan deal, offering a €4 million (£3.47m) fee with an option to buy next summer for €40 million (£34.7m).
