Atlético de Madrid’s second signing is now official. After the announcement of Grimaldo, Atlético has confirmed that Morten Hjulmand has signed for the club until 2031. The 27-year-old right-footed defensive midfielder arrives at the Metropolitano from Sporting Portugal. Hjulmand stands out for his physical strength, ball-winning ability, and reading of the game, which enhances both his anticipation and his distribution.

Hjulmand joins Atlético de Madrid after coming through the youth ranks at FC Copenhagen. After beginning his playing career in his native Denmark, he moved to Austrian side Admira Wacker in 2018. After two and a half seasons, he was transferred to Italy’s Lecce. Following a season and a half of progress in Italy, he joined Sporting Portugal in 2023, where he developed into a key player and became a leading figure for the Lisbon club. There, he won two league titles and one Taça de Portugal.
