Unfortunately, Manchester United, Atalanta has already offered money plus players are still refused

Liputan6.com, Jakarta After a very successful first season under new manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United are hoping to build a squad capable of challenging the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City again on the ladder of success.

It has been widely reported that United will add a new striker to their squad this season, in a bid to lighten the load on Marcus Rashford.

Over the past few weeks, it has been believed that United are eyeing Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund. The Red Devils are also reported to have made an offer to Atalanta.

However, according The AthleticAtalanta have rejected MU’s offer of transfer money plus players to bring in the 20-year-old striker.

The report claims that Atalanta rejected the offer and have made it clear that they want a cash only deal.

On the one hand, the players included in the deal have not been named. However, there are a number of names such as Fred, Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek who have previously been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.

MU made an offer of money along with one player because Atalanta set a transfer fee of around £ 86 million for the talented Danish striker.

Meanwhile, Journalist Sky Sports Dharmesh Sheth claims that there is a gap between the value submitted by MU and the fee expected by Atalanta.

“The number 9 remains a big priority for Manchester United (in the summer transfer window) and they are still in discussions with Atalanta regarding (a potential departure) of Rasmus Hojlund,” he told Sky Sports, as reported by SportBible.

“However, as with Onana’s (negotiations), there is still a gap between the value Manchester United are willing to pay (for Rasmus Hojlund) and Atalanta’s expectations,” he added.

This situation made the Red Devils have to work hard again to find a way to melt Atalanta’s heart. Moreover, the player himself is claimed to be willing to move to Old Trafford next season.
