and Inter Milan ‘dream’ of signing target Rasmus Hojlund, according to reports in Italy.
The 20-year-old is ’s first choice centre forward this summer but United have been frustrated in their efforts to sign the Dane.
After holding tentative talks with over Harry Kane, United ended their interest in the England captain as they felt a deal was almost impossible at the figures being spoken about.
Hojlund was deemed as a cheaper alternative, with United valuing the striker at around £40m.
But United have been taken aback by Atalanta’s £86m asking price for the striker, and the Italians have rejected the Red Devils’ attempt to include players in a part-exchange deal.
Though Ten Hag is desperate to sign Hojlund, United are operating within a tight budget this summer and the arrival of Andre Onana will mean the Dutchman’s used £100m of his £120m budget.
That leaves little left to secure Hojlund and United now risk missing out on the striker altogether.
That’s because Juventus and Inter are both tracking the Danish sensation and ‘dream’ of keeping him in Serie A, according to .
While United could financially outmuscle both Inter and Juventus, the opportunity to remain in Italy could appeal to the striker.
Ironically, Inter have pulled out of negotiations to sign Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku because the Blues held talks with Juventus over the Belgian.
