Revealed: the wage Hjulmand wants away from Sporting | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand continues to be one of the most sought-after names in Sporting’s squad and, in Spain, there is growing belief that Atlético Madrid will make a strong move for the Lions’ captain in this summer transfer window. According to newspaper AS, the Danish international is the Colchoneros’ main target to strengthen the midfield for 2026/27.

The Madrid club’s interest is not new, but it has gained fresh momentum in recent weeks. The same source states that Mateu Alemany, Atlético’s head of football, sees Hjulmand as the ideal profile for Diego Simeone’s system and is willing to make a significant financial effort to secure the midfielder’s signing.

On the table is reportedly an offer of around €40 million for Sporting, along with a net annual salary of €6 million for the player. Although he has a contract valid until 2028 and a release clause set at €80 million, it has long been known that there is an understanding between Hjulmand and Frederico Varandas to facilitate a possible departure should an offer deemed suitable arise.

The Lions’ captain has also not hidden his desire to make the jump to one of Europe’s top leagues. At 26, the Dane believes this is the ideal moment to take on a new challenge, although he continues to keep a reserved stance on the matter.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – featured in 45 matches: 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
