Why Juventus Believe They Can Unlock Højlund's Potential After United Struggles

 

RASMUS HOJLUND BACK TO ITALY? MAN UTD STRUGGLER IN TALKS WITH JUVENTUS AS SERIE A SIDE PLANS NEW ATTACK AFTER €40M VLAHOVIC SALE

Rasmus Højlund could be heading back to familiar territory as speculation intensifies around a potential move from Manchester United to Juventus. The Italian club is reportedly exploring a transfer as they prepare to revamp their attacking options in the upcoming summer window.

United Open to Letting Højlund Leave

After just one season at Old Trafford, Manchester United may be ready to part ways with their young striker. Højlund arrived with high expectations following a big-money move from Atalanta, but his debut Premier League campaign hasn’t lived up to the hype. While the Danish forward has shown flashes of potential, his overall impact has been limited, and the club may be willing to sell him for the right offer—estimated to be around £50 million.

Juventus Eyeing Højlund as Vlahović Replacement

Juventus are reportedly considering selling current frontman Dušan Vlahović this summer. Should that happen, Højlund is one of the leading candidates to fill the void. The 22-year-old already has Serie A experience and is seen as a player with long-term upside, particularly in a league that suits his physical and technical qualities.

The Turin-based club is planning a broader overhaul of their squad, and Højlund is viewed as a striker who could be molded into a central piece of their future under new tactical direction.

Return to Italy Appeals to Højlund

Sources close to the player suggest that Højlund would welcome a return to Italy. He previously enjoyed a productive spell at Atalanta, where he made a name for himself with strong performances against top Serie A defenses. A move back to the league where he first rose to prominence could offer him a better environment to develop and regain confidence.

What’s Next for United and Højlund?

With Manchester United undergoing changes at multiple levels—including potential shifts in ownership and management—the future of several players is under review. Selling Højlund would give United the financial flexibility to target a more experienced striker, particularly as they aim to rebuild their attacking line for next season.

As for Højlund, a move to Juventus could offer a fresh start and the kind of consistent role he’s yet to secure in England.
