Arsenal Transfer News: In order to get Atalanta attacker Rasmus Hojlund this summer, Arsenal and Newcastle United will need to spend at least €40-45 million
Arsenal Transfer News: Tutto Atalanta reports that by the end of the summer, Rasmus Hojlund will cost at least €40-45 million. The 20-year-old striker has been linked to both Arsenal and Newcastle United. He has scored 14 goals for Atalanta this season.
Rasmus Hojlund’s goal-scoring success for Atalanta in Serie A has continued to improve. There was a lot of interest in the 20-year-old striker during the transfer window in January. But the Italian club stuck to their decision to retain him.
One of the teams interested in the attacker is Napoli, who might use him to replace Victor Osimhen. Although he’s still young (20), the player’s recent success has sparked hopes that he may soon become a star for a major team.
Atalanta may have kept their reputation as a Champions League-caliber team throughout the years. But players like Hojlund may have higher expectations. So, a transfer to England is not out of the question in the eyes of the player’s management.
Real Madrid has already indicated interest and might continue to pursue the matter. While they had been advised to spend roughly €50 million, the study now suggests that they should pay no less than €40–45 million to sign Hojlund.
Arsenal Transfer News: What’s the matter?
According to reports, Manchester United is also in pursuit of Real Madrid. But, Arsenal and Newcastle United have recently shown interest. Both teams want to add young attackers to their rosters and then consider the development perspective.
Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun, both rising stars in Ligue 1, are just two of Arsenal’s many talented young attackers. Mikel Arteta might plan a move for Hojlund this summer to replace one of them, giving them more attacking alternatives.

What’s next for Rasmus Hojlund?
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe, manager of Newcastle United, has been monitoring a number of candidates for the starting centre striker position. Hojlund is a key part of that group, and with his help, they may be able to put together a winning combination. The job at hand for the Magpies would be enormous. The Gunners are heavy favourites to win the Premier League and make the Champions League.
Even though Newcastle United is also aiming for the playoffs, they are still heavy favourites to make the Europa League. Hojlund’s price range of €40-45 million may be within Newcastle United’s budget if they have a promising proposal. Atalanta’s asking price of between €40 and €45 million indicates that the club will consider proposals in that price range. There is a strong possibility that the fee may increase dramatically in the summer if other teams participate.
