Manchester United would reportedly have to part with a fee in the region of £62m in order to sign Atalanta BC centre-forward Rasmus Hojlund during this summer's transfer window.
The 20-year-old made the move to Atalanta from Sturm Graz last August, and he has been in impressive form for the Italian club this season, scoring eight goals and registering three assists in 27 appearances.
Hojlund has seven Serie A goals to his name this term, while he has found the back of the net on five occasions in four caps for Denmark, including a hat-trick against Finland last month.
The striker's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with a number of clubs believed to be interested in securing his signature during the upcoming market.
Chelsea and Bayern Munich have both been linked with the forward, while a recent report said that Man United had a 'concrete interest' in his services.
According to Corriere Della Sera, Atalanta are unlikely to be willing to let the youngster leave this summer unless they receive an offer in the region of £62m.
The Dane's Italian side are in a strong position when it comes to his future, as he penned a five-year contract upon his arrival towards the end of last summer's transfer window.
Hojlund started his professional career at Copenhagen, spending two years in their first team before arriving at Sturm Graz, netting 12 goals and registering four assists in 21 matches for the Austrian side.
Man United will sign at least one new striker this summer, with the club yet to bring in a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who departed towards the end of last year.
Wout Weghorst has been a regular since his loan arrival from Burnley in January, but the Netherlands international is unlikely to join the Red Devils on a permanent basis.
Anthony Martial has also struggled with fitness problems throughout the season, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding the Frenchman's future at Old Trafford.
However, Man United head coach Erik ten Hag has revealed that he wants to keep Martial at the club this summer, viewing him as an important part of the squad.
Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen have also been heavily linked with moves to Old Trafford, but both players are likely to cost in the region of £100m.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt's Kolo Randal Muani and Benfica's Goncalo Ramos are also thought to be on Man United's shortlist for the summer market. body check tags ::
