Thomas Frank wants Sporting star in Tottenham squad | OneFootball

Tottenham maintains a strong interest in securing the signing of Morten Hjulmand, something they had already shown during last summer’s transfer window. It appears that the Premier League club still has the Sporting captain on their radar, but they are aware of the competition and the difficulty of the deal.

The information is being reported by the portal 'TeamTalk', which also recalls the interest coming from Manchester United and Juventus, as the main admirers of the Danish international. However, the same source reveals that all clubs are aware of the low probability of signing the player in the winter window and, should it happen, it would be for a fee in the region of £70M (between €80M and €94M).

Therefore, Sporting’s management is relaxed about Hjulmand’s continuity at Alvalade at least until the end of the season. However, the next summer transfer window could bring news, as the club is said to have made an agreement with the midfielder to facilitate a possible departure if he remains in the squad for 2025/26.

All this comes at a time when even Morten Hjulmand’s release clause is not active and Sporting is demanding a very high fee to let the player go – since it is not the intention of Rui Borges or the rest of the management to lose one of the most important players in the squad halfway through the season.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 26 matches: 16 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 2,342 minutes he’s been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and provided three assists.

Morten Hjulmand says he is proud to play for Sporting:
