Højlund Sets Conditions for Departure from Manchester United as Enciso’s Move to Chelsea Progresses

Manchester United’s young striker, Rasmus Højlund, has placed specific stipulations on any potential exit from Old Trafford. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the 22-year-old forward is prepared to move—but only via a loan agreement that includes an obligation to buy. Among his acceptable destinations are Napoli, RB Leipzig, AC Milan, or any other club willing to fulfill these terms. While Højlund remains reluctant to leave United, he wants complete certainty in the deal to feel fully confident.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, in collaboration with their partner club Strasbourg, have reached an agreement with Brighton to sign Julio Enciso. Under the deal, Enciso is expected to spend the 2025/26 season at Strasbourg before joining Chelsea. He is set to sign a contract running until 2031, with an option for an additional year through 2032. The agreement is valued at €20 million, including performance-related add-ons, and the player is scheduled for a medical later this week.
