Hjulmand’s wages away from Sporting revealed | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand remains one of the most sought-after names in Sporting’s squad and, in Spain, there is growing belief that Atlético Madrid will make a strong move for the Lions’ captain in this summer transfer window. According to the newspaper AS, the Danish international is the Colchoneros’ main target to strengthen the midfield in 2026/27.

Interest from the Madrid club is not new, but it has gained fresh momentum in recent weeks. The same source says that Mateu Alemany, Atlético’s football director, sees Hjulmand as the ideal profile for Diego Simeone’s system and is willing to make a significant financial effort to secure the midfielder’s signing.

On the table is reportedly an offer of around €40 million for Sporting, along with a net annual salary of €6 million for the player. Although he has a contract valid until 2028 and a release clause set at €80 million, it has long been known that there is an understanding between Hjulmand and Frederico Varandas to facilitate a possible exit should an offer deemed suitable arrive.

The Lions’ captain has also not hidden his desire to make the step up to one of Europe’s top leagues. At 26, the Dane believes this is the ideal time to embrace a new challenge, although he continues to keep a reserved stance on the matter.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – has made 45 appearances: 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
