Sporting on alert: Hjulmand successor target is Germany-bound | OneFootball

Sporting may see one of the midfielders they have been tracking to strengthen the middle of the park slip away. Sergi Altimira, the Betis player identified as a possible successor to Morten Hjulmand, is getting closer and closer to moving to Germany.

Leipzig have entered the race strongly for the 24-year-old Spanish international and have gained the upper hand in recent hours. This shift is linked to the arrival of Martín Demichelis as head coach of the German club, following his recent departure from Mallorca.

The coach knows Sergi Altimira’s qualities well from his time following Spanish football and has already given Leipzig’s officials the green light to move forward with negotiations with Betis over the next few hours.

Faced with this concrete interest, the Seville club have informed the midfielder that they are expecting a formal offer from the Germans soon. If that bid does not arrive quickly, Sporting could once again take a leading position in the negotiations.

This season, Sergi Altimira - valued at €20 millionthe Spanish midfielder played 2,172 minutes, registering two goals and three assists.
