AC Milan urged to abandon pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund
AC Milan’s hopes of signing Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund have been dealt a blow, with the Danish forward reportedly rejecting a move to the Italian club. The 22-year-old is said to be not in United’s plans, but it seems he is not keen on a switch to Milan either.
Sacchi criticizes Hojlund’s decision
Former AC Milan manager Arrigo Sacchi has criticized Hojlund’s choice to turn down the opportunity to play for the prestigious club. Sacchi, who led Milan to great success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, believes that Hojlund is missing out on a fantastic opportunity to showcase his talent at a top European club.
“It’s a shame that a young player like Hojlund would reject the chance to join a club like AC Milan,” Sacchi said in a recent interview. “Milan is a historic club with a rich tradition of success, and it could have been a great platform for him to develop as a player.”
United’s stance on Hojlund’s future
While Hojlund may not feature in Manchester United’s plans for the upcoming season, the club is yet to make a decision on his future. The young striker has shown promise in the past, but he faces tough competition for a place in United’s first team.
With United open to offers for Hojlund, Milan had been keen to secure his services as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. However, the player’s reluctance to make the move has forced Milan to consider other options in the transfer market.
Impact on AC Milan’s transfer plans
The rejection from Hojlund is likely to force AC Milan to reassess their transfer targets and priorities. The club had seen the Danish striker as a potential key signing to bolster their attacking options, but they will now have to look elsewhere for reinforcements.
AC Milan’s sporting director has indicated that the club will not pursue Hojlund any further if he is not willing to join them. This decision reflects the club’s desire to only bring in players who are fully committed to the project and share their ambitions for success.
Looking ahead
As the summer transfer window continues, AC Milan will be on the lookout for suitable alternatives to strengthen their squad. The rejection from Hojlund may have been a setback, but the club remains determined to build a competitive team for the upcoming season.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on Hojlund, AC Milan will focus on identifying players who can make an immediate impact and contribute to their pursuit of silverware. The club’s fans will be eager to see how the rest of the transfer window unfolds and which new faces will arrive at the San Siro.
