It appears Napoli is closing in on a major addition.

The Serie A champions look to be close to securing striker Rasmus Højlund from Manchester United on loan with the chance to make the move permanent, according to multiple reports.

Sky Sport Italia and insider Fabrizio Romano report that negotiations are progressing in terms of a loan agreement and personal terms between the player and club.

The total transfer fee is expected to reach about 45 million euros (C$72.5 million) with the option potentially becoming an obligation under certain conditions.

The move comes as Napoli attempts to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who is going to be sidelined for months with a thigh injury.

Højlund’s situation at Old Trafford has been unsettled since United reshaped their squad this summer.
