Hoylen becomes a hot commodity in the transfer market

Hoylen has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. The Manchester United striker went through a nightmare journey last season, scoring only four goals in 32 Premier League games. The Manchester United Red Devils failed to go further after their performance in their first season, prompting the club to sign a striker this summer as a priority.

However, Hoylen's agent has informed United that his star clients are eager to get a first-team main position. In other words, if Manchester United does not regard it as the future main striker, they should find another way out for him. At this time, Inter Milan debuted. After losing to Napoli in the league and being swept by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final by 5 goals, the Nerazzurri's first priority this summer is to find a forward substitute for Lautaro Martinez and lock Hoylen as the number one target.

Although Hoylen has publicly stated that he expects to stay at Old Trafford next season, the general consensus in the media so far is that he is actually tempted by his pursuit of Inter and the option to return to the land of fame to restart his career.

Inter Milan Strategy: Double-sided reports

Italian football newspapers signed the 22-year-old forward on Sunday morning painted two completely different pictures.

Gazzetta dello Sport, GDS - Today's edition, page 2): The title points directly to "Full speed ahead on Hojlund". The newspaper said the Danes "may be changing their jerseys soon and putting on their blue and black jerseys." They stressed: "At present, he has surpassed all candidates in the club's choice of future forwards: the front line finally has room for signings, and at the moment, no one seems to be more worthy of investment than him." The report also revealed: "After a preliminary direct meeting in Milan, another round of contact will be made through the middleman in the next few days."

"Corriere dello Sport, CDS - Today's edition page 4): Its report is far from "going forward at full speed", saying that "time is money" and "no rush" to advance the transaction. The report pointed out: "For Inter Milan, waiting for a few weeks at the negotiating table may be a favorable strategy. In fact, the arrival of Manchester United's new striker may accelerate Hoylen's departure." The logic is: After waiting for Manchester United to find a replacement, the Red Devils will face greater pressure to sell Hoylen. It is for financial considerations, and avoids being obsessed with players who are interested in leaving. There will be no choice but to accept the loan + selective buyout solution favored by this Serie A club.

Huge obstacles and logical paradox

However, there was a huge stumbling block from the beginning of the transaction: Manchester United asked €45 million to sell Hoylen directly to avoid book losses, while Inter Milan wanted to rent first and then buy (with purchase option). "Rice Style" believes that the compromise may be Inter Milan paying a high rental fee and attaching a buyout obligation that is almost enforced a year later.

But the core of the report on "Royalty" is that Manchester United insists on the requirement of direct sales, which itself implies a logical paradox: it is reported that Manchester United needs to sell players first before they can introduce forwards. Therefore, if Inter insists on waiting for Manchester United to buy the striker first and then talk about Hoilun, the two sides will be in a deadlock.

Consensus: Desire and let go

No matter what strategy Inter Milan adopts, the Italian media reached a consensus on a key detail: Inter Milan is extremely eager to sign Hoylen, and Manchester United is also eager to approve its departure.
