Gyokeres? Sporting figure silent, says club has the answers | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand refused to comment on Viktor Gyokeres’ departure from Sporting. The Lions’ captain admits there are people within the Club’s structure who are more qualified to do so, preferring to focus on Luis Suárez, who was signed to replace the Swede.

"I’m not the right person to ask about the whole process. There are others at the Club who could answer that. Viktor said his goodbyes and we brought in a good player (Luis Suárez) who has been playing very well and we’re happy to have him," Hjulmand admitted.

The Sporting captain also left a message for Conrad Harder, his compatriot who moved from Alvalade to Leipzig: "I hope he succeeds with his transfer today and that he has a good start at his new club. Of course, I’m sorry to lose a Dane from the team, but I wish him all the best in the world at his new club."

Hjulmand was also directly questioned about the various summer rumors suggesting he might leave Sporting. However, the ‘number 42’ of the green and whites was quite emphatic and clarified everything he expects for the future.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in five matches. The green and whites’ captain has started and played every minute so far, already managing to score a goal at the start of the season.
