Napoli have since triggered the conditions to sign him permanently from Man United after they secured Champions League football.

According to Nicolo Schira, the 23-year-old has signed a four-year deal in Naples until 2030, and there is also an €85m release clause in his contract that is valid from July 2027. 

Hojlund has found a new lease of life since moving to Italy, surpassing the 15-goal mark in all competitions after scoring in added time of Napoli's 3-0 victory over Pisa on Sunday. 

United will also be pleased that a deal has finally been agreed, so they can move on from Denmark international, even if they've recorded a £34m loss by offloading him.
