Rasmus Højlund has officially completed a permanent move to Napoli after the Italian club triggered the obligation‑to‑buy clause in his loan agreement. This follows Napoli’s announcement in late December 2025 confirming their intention to sign the Danish striker permanently from Manchester United.
Softfootball can confirm that €44 million was paid to Manchester United as the transfer fee, in addition to the €6 million loan fee Napoli paid last summer.
Højlund initially joined Napoli on a season‑long loan from Manchester United on 1 September 2025. His permanent transfer comes after a highly successful campaign in which he scored 16 goals in 44 appearances, playing a key role in Napoli’s attack throughout the season.
