The Denmark U19 international is linked with leaving the Austrian side this summer amidst interest from a host of top-tier clubs, including Premier League hotshots Newcastle United, Belgian giants Club Brugge and Spanish minnows Celta Vigo. Much of the spotlight has beckoned due to his fantastic performances as of late – bagging 12 goals and 4 assists in 21 appearances for Sturm Graz since arriving from Copenhagen.
Atalanta have reportedly initiated first contact for Hojlund, who is touted to be one of Denmark’s finest prospects in recent years. Often likened to be his country’s very own Erling Haaland, he’s a talented young prospect with little big-league experience.
His contract is valid until the summer of 2026, and the Bergamaschi are closely following the developments, having already approached his club. He has a transfermarkt value of €4M, but Sturm Graz’s valuation of him is not yet known.
