Seems like there was a brief to the journos after last night’s negative result.

Various journos have come out saying basically the same thing:

    We’re not far off their evaluation and the player has agreed terms. It’s a matter of time 👍🏻 hopefully he can hit the ground running. We really need someone that can put away all the chances we create

    Edit: great summary post btw!

      I agree, definitely worth doing these for briefs rather than a bunch of posts saying the same thing

    I don’t really like assurances from one side of a deal before it’s done. Let’s get it over the line already.

      Atalanta did just sign a Striker for close to 30m euros, so it seems this Hojlund Saga is getting close to being done.
