Which club signed Rasmus Højlund from Manchester United in June 2026? The answer is Napoli.
Napoli signed Rasmus Højlund permanently from Manchester United in June 2026. The Danish striker had spent the preceding season on loan in Naples, and the transfer became permanent after the conditions in the agreement were met. Napoli confirmed that Højlund was now fully their player on 3 June 2026.
Højlund originally joined Manchester United from Atalanta in 2023 and became one of Europe’s most closely watched young forwards. His move to Napoli followed a productive loan spell and gave the Italian club a long-term centre-forward option. The deal was widely reported as involving an obligation to buy linked to Napoli’s qualification for the Champions League.
The common mix-up is with other major Italian clubs. Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma were plausible distractors because they regularly compete for high-profile forwards, but Napoli was the club that completed Højlund’s permanent signing from Manchester United.
