Danish striker Rasmos Hilonda arrived in the Italian capital, Rome, on Sunday, to conduct medical examinations in preparation for his accession to Napoli, in a loan deal that includes mandatory purchase on specific conditions during the current summer transfer market.
Details of Hilond’s transfer to Naples
Manchester United and Napoli reached an agreement to loan Hilond for a sum of money, with a mandatory purchase of 50 million euros if the southern team qualified for the Champions League. The contract also includes a penalty clause of 90 million euros that gives Napoli a future negotiating advantage, while Manchester United retained 5% of the value of any subsequent sale.
Why did Napoli choose to contract with Hilond?
This deal comes to compensate for the absence of Romelu Lukaku, who suffers from a long -term muscle injury. The technical staff, led by Antonio Conte, in the Danish striker, sees an ideal offensive option due to the similarity of its physical and technical characteristics with the Belgian striker, which gives the team a required offensive flexibility.
Hilond and his previous experience in the Italian League
Hilond, 22, has experience in the atmosphere of Calcio after playing with Atalanta the 202223 season, where he scored 10 goals in 34 games. This successful experience prompted Napoli to enhance his confidence in his capabilities, especially after he moved to Manchester United in a big deal worth about 77.8 million euros.
How did Napoli settled the deal despite the competition?
Napoli faced difficulties in finding offensive alternatives during the Mercato, after his negotiations with Chelsea player Nicholas Jackson and Dosan Flavic, Juventus striker. Meanwhile, Milan was putting Hilonda at the top of his priorities, but the Napoli administration settled the deal quickly, to a direct blow to its traditional opponent.
