Hojlund's valuation skyrockets.....
The Premier League transfer window is getting busier. Reports from the transfer market suggest Manchester United is on the verge of signing Rasmus Hojlund from Atlanta for a fee hovering around the €80 million mark.
The forward from Denmark has made his name with his performance for Denmark and Atlanta in the last year. In the 32 appearances for Atlanta in the Serie A, he scored 9 goals and added 2 assists to that count. The 6 goals in a 4 match Euro qualifier campaign for Denmark just reinforced the fact that he might be chased by bigger clubs over this transfer window.
With PSG and Tottenham reported to be among other clubs chasing his signature, it does seem that Manchester United might just get the deal over the line.
It might still be a big gamble for Erik Ten Haag. Hojlund, who is exceptionally talented with all his speed, movement, and control, might still be a bit raw and will need polishing. Manchester United are rebuilding to claim the old glorious day and Ten Haag with a good eye for talent might just be able to produce a gem out of Hojlund.
Hojlund was worth €1.8m when he moved from Denmark in early 2022. By the end of the year Atlanta paid €18 m and in another year that seems to have trebled. To the mathematically inclined, Hojlund's market value has increased by more than 400 % in the last 18 months.
Money seems to flow around football these days, and the valuations of players are attributes are nothing like in the past and often seem exaggerated. It is after all a demand and supply cycle in football too.
