Striker Rasmus Hojlund completes permanent move to Napoli from Man United

By The Associated Press

NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Rasmus Hojlund has completed a permanent move to Napoli after a successful loan from Manchester United last season.

The Denmark striker scored 16 goals in 44 games as Napoli finished runner-up in the Italian league and secured qualification for the Champions League.

Hojlund joined United from Atalanta for $82 million in 2023 and was regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Europe. But he was pushed down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the signings of forwards Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha last year.

His move to Napoli is worth a reported $58 million.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — A coastal development project in Albania linked to Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is facing growing opposition from environmental advocates and has triggered daily protests in the capital, Tirana. To the deafening sound of drums, horns and whistles, thousands of demonstrators late Saturday chanted “Rama Leave!” — referring to longtime Socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama. The rally drew participation from Albanian migrant communities abroad as the protests dubbed the “flamingo revolution” continue to gain momentum. The government says the development on the Adriatic coast would be transformational for the former communist nation as it seeks to enter the high-end tourism market and pushes for European Union membership. But the venture, spanning an abandoned island and a nearby stretch of seafront on Albania’s southern coast, has drawn opposition from environmental campaigners and critics of Rama's government.
