Rasmus Hojlund has completed a loan move to Napoli for the 2025/26 season, Manchester United have announced.

Following the arrival of Benjamin Sesko in a £66 million deal, Ruben Amorim made it clear that Hojlund was no longer part of his plans.

It is a significant financial hit for United, who paid £64 million for Hojlund in 2023. The loan deal includes a conditional buy clause set at £38 million if Napoli qualify for the Champions League.

Unlike some of his teammates who left under tense circumstances this summer, the Dane departed on good terms. His new wages in Italy suggest he’s more focused on rebuilding his career than chasing a bigger payday.

Jadon Sancho’s high wages made it tough for Manchester United to move him, but Rasmus Hojlund has taken a slight pay cut to make his switch to Italy.

Per reports from Italy’s Gazzetta, Hojlund is set to earn €5 million annually at Napoli should his permanent signing materialize. The agreement is slated to run until 2031.

That comes out to around £4.32 million annually, or just over £83,000 a week.

For comparison, the Dane was making £85,000 a week at United and now has a long-term contract that takes him through until he is 28.

Looking at United’s current wage structure, Hojlund’s new salary is less than what 19-year-old Leny Yoro (£115,000 per week), Andre Onana (£120,000 per week), and Joshua Zirkzee (£105,000 per week) are earning.
