Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has confirmed the club will sign Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund this summer, per the Mirror.
He has impressed with his performances in Italy, scoring 14 goals and creating six assists in 41 appearances.
Napoli will trigger the £38 million buy-out clause in his contract.
The Denmark international has already agreed a new and improved long-term deal with the Blues.
Hojlund began his career at HUI and Brondby before moving to fellow Danish outfit Copenhagen in 2020.
His impressive performances for the Superliga club earned him a transfer to Sturm Graz, and then he moved to Atalanta for £14.6 million.
United splashed £72m to secure Hojlund’s services in 2023, but he failed to make the desired impact in the Premier League.
The Dane managed just 26 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions.
United decided to cut their losses on the forward, allowing him to join Napoli on loan last summer.
The Red Devils brought in Benjamin Sesko, who has hit the ground running at Old Trafford.
