Højlund's Buy-Out Clause Activated as Napoli Qualifies for Champions League

It's now confirmed: Rasmus Højlund will remain at Napoli beyond the current season. The Neapolitans, under coach Antonio Conte, secured their spot in next season's Champions League with today's victory over Pisa. This achievement triggered the buy-out clause for the Manchester United striker.

The Italian club will pay an additional 44 million euros to acquire the full rights to the Danish international. Six million euros were already paid in August for Højlund's loan.

Napoli is reportedly very pleased with the 23-year-old forward's performances, as he has netted 11 goals in Serie A, more than any other player in the 'Azzurri' squad.

Højlund made the move from Atalanta to United in 2023.
