Hjulmand exit risk: Premier League pressure mounts on Sporting captain | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand continues to attract suitors, and Sporting already know they will have difficulty keeping hold of the Lions’ captain at the end of the season. Arsenal and Manchester United are closely monitoring the Danish midfielder’s situation, at a time when the English clubs are beginning to prepare for the summer transfer window.

According to the portal 'CaughtOffside', Arsenal are one of the clubs most interested in securing the signing of the Denmark international. The Gunners are even said to be studying an approach similar to the one used by several clubs in recent deals involving Sporting players, such as Viktor Gyökeres, trying to lower the fee demanded by the Lions to complete the transfer.

Although Hjulmand has a release clause set at €80 million, the same source says that Sporting are willing to open negotiations for a fee in the region of €60 million. The green-and-white SAD recognizes the midfielder’s sharp rise in value and knows that pressure from Premier League clubs could intensify in the coming weeks.

Arsenal’s interest is said to have grown after the meetings between the two clubs in the Champions League. It should be noted that, in addition to Hjulmand, also according to the same portal, the London club’s officials also gathered information on Ousmane Diomande and Iván Fresneda.

. The Red Devils see Hjulmand - whose injury situation is now clearer - as a player capable of adding balance and intensity to the midfield.
