Hjulmand still set for Sporting return, what's left for the Lions captain | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand is just hours away from officially leaving Sporting. The Danish midfielder has already undergone his medical in Madrid and signed a contract with Atlético de Madrid, with only the official announcement of the transfer still pending to bring the captain’s spell at Alvalade to an end.

After several weeks of negotiations, Sporting and Atlético de Madrid have finally reached an agreement. Frederico Varandas initially rejected a first offer from the Spaniards, but the colchoneros eventually came closer to Sporting’s demands to secure the signing of the Danish international.

The €5 million in add-ons will depend on Morten Hjulmand’s appearances and Atlético de Madrid’s performance in the Champions League. According to the sports press, Sporting will receive additional amounts depending on the number of matches played by the midfielder and the Spanish club’s European campaigns.

Although he is no longer part of the pre-season training camp in Lagos, Hjulmand is expected to return to Portugal for one final visit to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. The midfielder will collect his belongings and say goodbye to his teammates, bringing to a close a three-season spell at Sporting, where he won two league titles, one Portuguese Cup, and wore the captain’s armband.
