Alert, Sporting! Mateu Alemany makes Hjulmand top priority | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand continues to be linked with a move away from Sporting and, in Spain, the name of the Lions' captain is once again being associated with Atlético Madrid. According to Diario AS, the Danish international is the Colchoneros' top target to strengthen the midfield in this summer transfer window.

The same source says that Mateu Alemany, the Madrid club's sporting director, sees the Sporting midfielder as the ideal solution for next season and is preparing an approach to the green-and-white SAD in the coming weeks.

Although his release clause is set at €80 million, it has been reported that there is an understanding between Sporting and the player to facilitate a possible transfer for a lower fee. In that sense, an offer in the region of €40 million could pave the way for negotiations between the parties.

Faced with the possibility of losing one of the squad's main figures, the Lions' officials are already working on a replacement. Silas Andersen was recently officially announced as a midfield reinforcement, and João Palhinha remains one of the names most wanted by the club's hierarchy to return to Alvalade.

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