Napoli are ready to take Rasmus Hojlund off Manchester United’s hands – IF Sir Jim Ratcliffe is prepared to take a financial hit on the flop forward.
Hojlund’s position at United is looking increasingly vulnerable with United boss Ruben Amorim far from convinced by the Red Devils’ No.9 during his four months in charge.
The Dane is battling to keep his place in the starting line-up for Wednesday’s clash at home to Ipswich after a dismal run of 16 games without a goal.
Despite his struggles in the Premier League, Hojlund’s stock in Italy remains high from his time at previous club Atalanta.
However, Napoli would only be willing to pay a fraction of the £72million United paid for Hojlund on the insistence of Erik ten Hag.
Ironically, United have a strong interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, but sources have told talkSPORT a potential swap deal is ‘complicated.’
Ramsdale in London return?
Aaron Ramsdale could find himself at the centre of an intriguing goalkeeping transfer triangle this summer.
Ramsdale is one of the few Southampton players to emerge from their sorry season with any credit after swapping Arsenal’s bench for a return to the south coast in the summer.
But despite his impressive personal form, the England international has been unable to halt their slide back to the Championship.
One source has told talkSPORT there is believed to be a relegation release clause in Ramsdale’s contract, but either way Saints will struggle to afford his wages in the second tier.
Chelsea have long-standing interest in Ramsdale while Bournemouth held talks with Arsenal before signing Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan.
Whether Kepa returns to Stamford Bridge or stay at Bournemouth is likely to have ramifications for Ramsdale.
Man City will let veteran star go
Manchester City have told Ilkay Gundogan they will not stand in his way if he wants to make a dream move to boyhood heroes Galatasary at the end of the season.
Galatasary are offering the 34-year-old the chance to see out his playing days at the club he supported as a boy.
Gundogan returned to City in the summer on a one-year deal with the option of an additional extra year, but that will not be triggered if he decides he wants to leave for a second time.
The German international has been earmarked for a coaching role within the City Football Group when he retires as a player.
West Ham striker snub
Jonathan David is expected to snub an ambitious approach from West Ham.
David is set to be one of the most sought-after free transfers this summer after letting his contract at French club Lille run down.
talkSPORT understands West Ham have held talks with the Canadian international’s agent in a bid to steal a march on their Premier League rivals.
However, with the Hammers face competition from the likes of Inter Milan and Barcelona, they know it is unlikely he chooses east London as his next home.
