The Danish forward netted a brace, in fact, to prove decisive in the Neapolitan side’s 2-1 win over Juventus. Roaring in celebration in front of the home fans, Hojlund looks like a man with spirit revived and both he and the club will be hoping to continue with this momentum in the final games of 2025.
Napoli have matches in the Champions League, Serie A and Supercoppa Italiana before 2026 arrives and Antonio Conte will want his number nine at his best.

With Romelu Lukaku still not expected back until 2026 and Lorenzo Lucca so far underperforming in his cameos, Hojlund will likely be the club’s leading man for the remainder of the year.

Conte’s side have started the season strongly and barring any nasty surprises, will likely find themselves in the top four come May. Therefore, Hojlund’s stay at Napoli will become permanent for a figure of around €50 million, including the cost of the loan itself.
