Højlund hits back at Allegri after 4-1 defeat at Porto
The Danish striker has three goals this season and an €85 million release clause that can be triggered from summer 2027.
Rasmus Højlund did not hide his frustration after Napoli lost 4-1 at Porto. Asked about Massimiliano Allegri's claim that he was happy with the performance after their seventh defeat in 14 games, the Dane disagreed. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, he said the team did not play well, that they must stop losing, and that players, coach and club all need to look at themselves in the mirror.
His numbers are not those of a top centre-forward: three goals and around 1,000 minutes this season. Two of those goals came against Como and Inter, but they did not prevent defeats.
His contract runs until 30 June 2030, with an option for another season. He became a Napoli player last summer for around €50m in total. From summer 2027, a foreign club can pay €85 million and take him. For now that scenario looks distant, but if the slump continues, next summer could bring surprises.
