Hjulmand is €5m away from swapping Sporting for Atlético Madrid | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid remain determined to sign Morten Hjulmand and are preparing a new offer for Sporting’s captain. After seeing an initial bid rejected, the Colchoneros intend to increase the figures on the table, although they will still fall short of the threshold set by Sporting’s board.

According to Record, the Spanish club plan to submit an offer of €35 million fixed, while keeping a further €5 million in add-ons. However, Sporting are sticking to the position already conveyed to Atlético Madrid: they will only accept negotiating the departure of the Danish international for a total of €45 million, split between €40 million fixed and €5 million in variables.

Hjulmand, 27, has already reached an agreement with the Madrid club on a five-year contract and is calmly awaiting the outcome of the negotiations. The midfielder knows that Frederico Varandas will keep his promise to facilitate the move if the offer reaches the values previously agreed between the parties.

At this stage, the deal is practically dependent on a difference of €5 million. Despite the impasse, there is confidence that Sporting and Atlético Madrid can move closer in the coming days and unlock the transfer of the Lions’ captain.

While his future remains unresolved, Morten Hjulmand has been instructed to report to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy on 11 July, before then heading to the training camp in Lagos. If an agreement between the two clubs is reached before that date, the midfielder will head straight to Madrid to begin pre-season with Diego Simeone’s side.
