      by

      And Hojlund has been the Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag’s top target during the summer transfer window.
      And according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Manchester giants have upped their offer after “direct talks”.
      United have now tabled €60million (£51m) and negotiations are still ongoing with the Serie A outfit.
      Ten Hag’s side wants to close the deal for the Denmark international as soon as possible.

      That is because the Red Devils want to focus on other positions as the Dutch tactician wants his team to be completely ready in time for the Premier League curtain-raiser next month.
      Hojlund has been wanting to move to Old Trafford throughout the summer and has now made that feeling “very clear”.

      Atalanta, however, have previously demanded a whopping £86m for the 20-year-old.
      United have insisted they won’t go over £60m for the centre-forward.

      The Premier League giants have been targeting Hojlund ever since Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy slapped a staggering £100m price tag on Harry Kane.
      This comes after reports suggesting Paris Saint-Germain tried to hijack a deal with a £43m bid.
      But that is unlikely to be accepted with United offering more, while PSG are prepared to walk away if they get turned down. More

      Fulham ‘to hijack Lazio’s Callum Hudson-Odoi transfer’ but fans can’t believe the fee for Chelsea star once valued £70m

      by

      FULHAM have made a “verbal proposal” to sign Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports.The 22-year-old, who received three England caps in 2019, has stalled at Stamford Bridge in recent years.

      He spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, but registered just one goal in 21 games.
      As a result, his stock has fallen considerably – and with it his price tag.
      Back in 2020, Chelsea rejected a loan offer from Bayern Munich which included a £70MILLION option to buy.
      Now Fabrizio Romano is reporting Fulham have offered £4m for the attacker.

      It comes amid interest elsewhere from Italian side Lazio and Saudi Arabia.
      Chelsea are not thought to be happy with the bid from their West London rivals.
      However, they are only believed to be holding out for £8m.
      And Fulham are said to be confident of securing a deal in the “next days”, with negotiations at an “advanced” stage.
      Most read in Football
      But fans are in disbelief at just how much Hudson-Odoi’s value has fallen over three years.

      Reacting on social media, one person said: “Mad to think Chelsea rejected a £70m from Bayern Munich just a few seasons ago.”
      Another added: “Can someone tell me what happen to Hudson-Odoi?😭😭😭”
      A third replied: “Four million is approximately free to me. Funny how Hudson-Odoi used to be Chelsea’s saviour some seasons ago.”
      And a fourth responded: “£8m for Hudson-Odoi?! That’s a bargain and a half. But the disrespect from Chelsea.”
      Hudson-Odoi, who joined the Blues as a young boy in 2007, has racked up 126 appearances and 16 goals for the first team, winning the Champions League, Europa League, Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup.
      Meanwhile, Chelsea are in the middle of a mass exodus this summer.
      They have already axed high-profile stars such as N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
      The likes of Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku are also being linked with moves. More

      Sao Paulo will be the Colombian international’s tenth club in his professional career.
      He spent only seven months in his most recent stint with Olympiakos.
      The 31-year-old’s contract was cut short at the Greek club after making only 23 appearances and scoring five goals.
      It has been confirmed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano that Rodriguez is on his way to South America today to formalise the deal.

      Rodriguez began his senior career at only 14-years-old for Colombian second division side Envigado.
      He then made his way to Europe after signing for Portuguese giants Porto back in 2010.
      The striker made a breakthrough at the two-time Champions League winners making 63 appearances, scoring 25 goals and winning eight trophies along the way.
      In 2013 he moved to Monaco alongside team-mate and ex-Wolves star Joao Moutinho in a combined £60m deal.

      Real Madrid was Rodriguez’s next stop when he joined Los Blancos in 2014 for £63m.
      But he failed to set the world alight in his time in LaLiga and was shipped out on loan to Bayern Munich.
      Since 2020 Rodriguez has toured the world, playing for Everton, then Qatar’s Al-Raayan and Olympiacos.
      He now jets away again but a step closer to his home country of Colombia.

      United still face competition for Hojlund’s signature with reports that PSG have launched a £42.6million bid for the striker.
      They have already bought Mason Mount and goalkeeper Andre Onana leaving them with £13million left of the £120million they were able to spend due to FFP rules.
      But as long as they can offset that with sales this summer and in the New Year market they will be ok.
      A number of current players have been linked with an exit.

      Manager Erik ten Hag was asked if the game emphasised the need for that major move in the transfer market.
      Ten Hag said: “Absolutely, two things: the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals and I think we need more players capable to be one-on-one, we had the situations, it was Rashford, Scott McTominay, Garnacho, you have to score.”
      It was a tough night for United 24 hours after their second team was beaten 3-1 by Wrexham.
      They also had Kobbie Mainoo injured early in the game and he left the NRG Stadium with his ankle in a protective boot.
      Midfielder Mainoo, 18, has impressed Ten Hag in training and started the pre-season win over Arsenal as well as this game.
      Ten Hag said: “Hopefully he is not too bad and chances will come.
      “I wanted to see what levels he could play against Arsenal, we were pleased with his performance, and I wanted to see if he could repeat that and set conclusions, now I have to wait for the diagnosis”

      Chelsea leading Arsenal in race for £40m Ajax star Kudus but transfer could depend on Man Utd’s Hojlund move

      Kudus has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with both Brighton and United previously interested.
      Chelsea are the current favourites to sign him, though, according to The Independent.
      The report states that the Blues have presented a more convincing package than Arsenal.
      In addition, Chelsea believe they can price Arsenal out of any potential move as they are in a stronger position to agree both a transfer fee and wages.
      READ MORE TRANSFER NEWS
      Kudus is expected to be valued at around £40million by Ajax if he is to leave the club.
      Arsenal are keen on him as one of their midfield targets, alongside the arrival of a new right-back.
      However, the Gunners need to sell before buying following their early business.
      Meanwhile, Chelsea have already trimmed their squad down considerably and could sign two midfielders before the window closes.

      As well as Kudus, Mauricio Pochettino is also chasing a deal for Moises Caicedo, with talks ongoing.
      Any deal for Kudus, who almost joined Everton last summer, could hinge on United’s business, though.
      The Red Devils have been linked with the Ghana international but are currently looking to sign Atalanta’s Hojlund.
      A bid has been launched for the Danish striker, but it is understood to be below the Italian side’s asking price.
      Failure to land Hojlund could see United come back in for Kudus, who can also play as a striker or on the right wing.
