Roma Eyes Manchester United’s Hojlund Amid Transfer Speculations
Unlocking Potential: A Fresh Start for the Danish Star?
In the ever-evolving world of football transfers, Rasmus Hojlund might be poised for a dramatic return to Italy, where his talents first shone brightly. As Manchester United grapples with inconsistencies, Serie A giants like Roma are exploring options to bring the young forward back, potentially reuniting him with a coach who knows his game inside out. This move could reshape team dynamics and offer Hojlund the platform to rediscover his scoring prowess.

- Juventus and Milan interested in the Dane
Gasperini’s Vision: Reuniting with Hojlund at Roma
According to insights from Calciomercato, Roma’s manager Gian Piero Gasperini is keen on linking up again with Manchester United‘s forward Hojlund, even after bringing in Evan Ferguson temporarily from Brighton. The club views the Dane as an ideal successor to Artem Dovbyk, who has caught the eye of Besiktas and might team up with ex-Roma player Tammy Abraham after his recent switch.
From Atalanta Days to Old Trafford Struggles
Gasperini mentored Hojlund during his time at Atalanta, significantly contributing to his growth prior to the high-profile transfer to United. In their single campaign together in Bergamo, the striker bagged 10 goals across 34 appearances, catching the attention of the English club. Yet, adapting to life in the Premier League has proven tough; he managed 10 goals in 30 league outings in his debut year but wrapped up the 2024-25 season with just four in the league and six more in European competition. A Serie A comeback seems appealing, though Roma faces competition from Juventus and AC Milan, both keeping tabs on his situation.
Dovbyk’s Uncertain Future and Roma’s Strategy
At 28, Dovbyk arrived at Roma from Girona last summer following a stellar run where he led La Liga’s scoring with 24 goals in the 2023-24 season. He contributed 12 goals in 32 Serie A fixtures for Roma, plus two in the Europa League. With four years remaining on his deal, he’s surprisingly available this transfer window, prompting Roma to consider reinforcements like Hojlund.
Navigating Transfers: Hojlund’s Path Forward with Manchester United
Roma is determined to secure Hojlund to align with Gasperini’s tactics, but they’ll need confirmation on Dovbyk’s possible exit to Besiktas first. Meanwhile, Hojlund is looking for stability after a turbulent period at Old Trafford. Recent reports suggest that as of mid-2025, his market value has stabilized around €50 million, reflecting his potential despite recent dips, which could influence negotiations amid interest from multiple Italian clubs.
