Manchester United loannee Rasmus Hojlund has been handed another boost as his successful loan spell at Napoli nears its conclusion
Rasmus Hojlund’s estimated value has increased to roughly £92million, though Manchester United are set to sell him for much less. The Denmark international has spent the 2025/26 season on-loan at Napoli with several strong performances seeing his stock rise considerably.
The latest figure from CIES Football Observatory’s Estimated Transfer Values tool for Hojlund is a maximum of €106m (£91.5m) and a minimum of €91m (£78.6m). United paid Fiorentina £64m to sign him in August 2023, with it seeming as though he will be moved on permanently three years later.
A €44m (£38m) buy-obligation was inserted into his Napoli loan switch with that set to be triggered as Antonio Conte’s side are on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Hojlund has been key to their strong domestic campaign with 10 goals and four assists from 29 appearances.

A good run of goals has also seen his market value increase after it dipped to just €35m (£30m), as per transfermarkt, when he struggled for form under Ruben Amorim. Since playing under Conte, as of late March, €50m (£43.1m) has been listed as what he is worth.
Though United are set to lose at least £24m on Hojlund, no funds are needed for his replacement with Benjamin Sesko signed last summer. He has netted 10 Premier League goals since joining from RB Leipzig with the striker reaching double-figures during United’s win over Brentford on Monday.
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were also brought into the club as attacking signings to replace Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.

Cunha missed the 2-1 victory earlier this week through a minor injury, but Champions League football for next season at Old Trafford is all-but secured with four games to go. A win over bitter rivals Liverpool will seal their return to Europe’s top competition.
United could yet play a role in what other teams end up doing next season as they are still to play Sunderland and Brighton, who are both chasing Europe, and 16th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Despite leading United to a minimum top-five finish, interim head coach Michael Carrick may not get the role permanently with other candidates under consideration.
Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola and Luis Enrique are just a few names that have been linked, with international managers such as Julian Nagelsmann and Carlo Ancelotti mooted.
Having won nine games out of a possible 13 in charge, Carrick is in a great position to take the job for the long-term and be in the hot seat for a big summer transfer window.
Midfield appears to be the priority for United with limited depth already in that department and Casemiro leaving at the end of the season.
