Representatives confirm contact over Hjulmand successor at Sporting | OneFootball

Sergi Altimira continues to stand out in the service of Real Betis and has been identified by Sporting as a possible replacement for Morten Hjulmand. However, from the player’s side, there have still been no concrete developments in the negotiations.

One of the Spanish midfielder’s representatives, through IF Football, clarified the situation: “There is nothing official. At this moment, only exchanges of information with clubs. Altimira is focused on finishing the season and giving his best for Betis. We know that Sporting is a big club, but at this moment there is nothing.”

The statements given to the newspaper Record confirm that, despite Sporting’s interest, the process is still at an early stage, with no agreement or formal negotiations currently underway. However, the green and whites have already positioned themselves for the player, as they are considering Morten Hjulmand’s departure.

With a market value of around 20 million euros — an amount Betis has already rejected — Altimira has a contract valid until June 2029, after renewing on April 11, 2025. Even so, the Spanish club is only expected to open negotiations for figures starting at 25 million euros.

This season, Sergi Altimira — valued at 20 million euros — has already played 38 matches for Real Betis: 22 in La Liga, 11 in the Europa League and five in the Copa del Rey. In total, the Spanish midfielder has been on the pitch for 2,096 minutes, recording two goals and two assists.
