Breaking! International press say Sporting have sold Hjulmand for less | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand is getting closer and closer to leaving Sporting. Atlético Madrid have stepped up negotiations with the Lions, and the parties are now very close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of the green-and-white captain.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, via Atleti Universe, the agreement between Sporting and Atlético Madrid is practically sealed for a total fee of €40 million, including bonuses, which is below what was initially expected. It should be remembered that the Denmark international already has an agreement with the Spanish club to sign a contract valid until 2031.

The SAD led by Frederico Varandas had recently rejected an initial offer from the colchoneros, considering that the figures presented fell short of the demands set to release the midfielder. Since then, negotiations have continued and the two clubs have moved closer together.

If the talks are successfully concluded, Rui Borges will lose one of the main figures in the squad for 2026/27. Sporting, however, have already strengthened the midfield in this transfer window with the arrivals of Sergi Altimira, Silas Andersen, Issa Doumbia, Pedro Lima and Rodrigo Zalazar, preparing for the succession of the Lions' captain.

The process is now entering its final stretch and could see developments in the coming hours. If the agreement is formalized, Morten Hjulmand will bring his spell at Alvalade to an end and begin a new stage of his career in the service of Atlético Madrid.
