Inter Milan linked with fresh move for Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund
Inter Milan are preparing to make a formal approach to Manchester United for Danish striker Rasmus Højlund, according to reports from the Daily Mail. After engaging in discussions with the player’s representatives over the past several days, Inter are now ready to ask United to name their price for the 22-year-old forward.
Højlund joined Manchester United from Atalanta in 2023 with high expectations, but his time in England has so far been a mixed bag. Over the course of two seasons, he has featured in 95 matches for the Red Devils, scoring 26 goals and contributing 6 assists. While his raw numbers suggest promise, the young striker has struggled with consistency and form, especially when adapting to the intense pace and physicality of the Premier League.
Despite those challenges, Højlund has demonstrated flashes of the talent that made him a sought-after signing in the first place. His athleticism, strong hold-up play, and ability to attack space have not gone unnoticed, especially back in Italy where he first made his name with Atalanta. Inter Milan, eager to bolster their attacking options following their run to the Champions League final, believe Højlund could be the long-term answer up front.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Inter’s interest is serious. Talks between the club and Højlund’s agents have been positive, paving the way for a potential summer return to Serie A. The next step will be to open discussions with Manchester United, with Inter expected to request a valuation for the Danish international this week.

Højlund also boasts a growing profile on the international stage. He has already earned 22 caps for Denmark, scoring 7 goals, and is seen as a key part of the national team’s future. His physical attributes and keen eye for goal have drawn comparisons to legendary Scandinavian forwards, and many believe a move back to Italy could reignite his club career.
Inter are not the only club monitoring the striker’s situation. Serie A champions Napoli are also said to be interested in bringing Højlund back to Italy. With several clubs likely to strengthen their squads ahead of the 2025–26 campaign, competition for his signature could become intense if United signal a willingness to sell.
The coming weeks will be critical as Inter Milan seek to rebuild their squad after falling short in the Champions League final. The club has identified Højlund as a player with high upside and Serie A experience, and a deal could be mutually beneficial if Manchester United decide to restructure their attacking line-up under the new management.
Whether Højlund remains at Old Trafford or returns to familiar ground in Italy, his future looks set to be one of the major talking points of the summer transfer window.
