Verbal bid for Denmark striker includes €50m up frontPSG also interested in signing the 20-year-old
Manchester United have made a verbal offer that could be worth €60m (£51.4m) for Rasmus Højlund as they attempt to beat Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of the striker from Atalanta.
Højlund has emerged as United’s key target as they attempt to strengthen their attacking options and talks with the Italian club over the 20-year-old have already begun. It is understood that the offer for the Denmark striker is an initial €50m plus another €10m in bonuses, although Atalanta have previously indicated they would hold out for £70m despite Højlund’s relative lack of experience. He registered eight goals and two assists in 31 league games last season after moving to Serie A from Austrian side Sturm Graz last summer.
