Hojlund stalls AC Milan's loan plans after bench omission

Sources suggest the agreement could involve a €6 million loan fee and a €45 million option to buy, while the striker's wages would remain covered by the receiving club.
Despite these developments, the deal has yet to gain full approval from Hojlund himself. The young forward appears determined to remain at Manchester United, even after failing to make an appearance in Saturday's friendly.
His reluctance to depart complicates the negotiations, leaving the club in a delicate position. Milan seem keen to find a compromise, aiming to balance the player's ambitions with their broader transfer strategy.
The proposed loan would offer him valuable playing time elsewhere, but convincing him to accept the move remains a challenge.
As talks continue behind the scenes, the final outcome remains uncertain. With the transfer window rapidly closing, both parties will need to reach an agreement soon — or risk the deal falling through altogether.
