PSG are weighing up a move for Rasmus Hojlund: Reports

PSG reportedly have set their sights on Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund who is also on the radar of Manchester United.

United have already seen their attempt to lure the club failed as the Ree Devils tried to sweeten the offer by offering a player in the deal. Now as per reports, PSG are all set to rival the Red Devils for Hojlund and could test Atalanta's resolve with a teasing offer in the upcoming days.

Rasmus Hojlund remains one of the most preferred targets for clubs

Atalanta have reportedly slapped an £86 million price tag on the Danish striker who featured in 32 Serie A games last season. PSG are already lighter in their attacking ranks following the departure of Messi while Neymar has had his persistent injury issues in the last couple of seasons.

In this scenario, PSG need to invest to boost their attacking options and Hojlund could be the solution to their problems. An out-and-out centre forward Hojlund has shown glimpses of promise in the Italian top flight. Eminent journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that PSG did enquire about the availability of the player.

"Told Rasmus Højlund remains on top of Manchester United's list as the new striker. In personal terms, never an issue as he’s very keen on the move. Man United never sent any official bid yet — just talks on the club/player side as the priority is the new GK. PSG also inquired about Højlund."

It remains to be seen who wins the race for Hojlund as both sides will feel the need to strengthen their sides
