Italian press urge Juventus to sign Sporting star, a credible option | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand’s performance in the clash between Juventus and Sporting (1-1) left the Italian press in awe of the Lions’ midfielder. Several Italian sports dailies praised the Dane’s display and wrote that the footballer would be a “credible option” for Luciano Spalletti’s midfield.

“It’s no secret that Juventus want to sign a midfielder in the upcoming winter transfer window. And they wanted one in the summer as well. Hjulmand has emerged as a credible option to strengthen Juve’s midfield and now, in person, he performed at a high level,” detailed ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, while Turin’s sports daily, ‘Tuttosport’, highlighted the “impact” of “one of the best players in action for Sporting’s team.”

Juventus’ interest in Morten Hjulmand is not exactly new, but in recent weeks, it has intensified again, especially since the Italian club’s squad will need to be reinforced in January due to a poor start to the season, which recently led to the dismissal of coach Igor Tudor.

Despite having spent so much time in Italy, Juventus only began to take notice of Hjulmand after his transfer to Sporting. The Nordic player quickly established himself at Alvalade, and today, he is a key player in Rui Borges’ team, wearing the captain’s armband.
