Sporting set their price: how many millions it’ll take to sell Hjulmand | OneFootball

With the transfer window now closed, Morten Hjulmand is enjoying a period of greater calm after being involved in a controversial situation (a possible transfer to Atlético de Madrid), but he knows that at the end of the season, he will face a very hot summer. For this reason, the Sporting captain and the board led by Frederico Varandas have established a pact to ensure everything is settled for the future.

At the start of the season, the 26-year-old midfielder and the president agreed that the Nordic player would remain with Sporting in 2025/26, even in the face of strong interest from European "giants," and, in return, he would have the freedom to choose his next career move. According to the newspaper 'Record', the parties agreed that the club will accept to negotiate his transfer from July onwards for a base value of 40 million euros, half of his release clause (80M).

What is certain is that, unlike what happened in the last transfer window with the saga of Viktor Gyokeres leaving for Arsenal, Sporting and Hjulmand intend to avoid any controversy on the matter and nip agent pressure in the bud. Thus, the Dane does not intend to adopt the Swede’s stance and will never force a departure.

Contractually tied to the national champions until 2028, the international from the Nordic country was absent against Nacional, as the club protected the midfielder who was bombarded with phone calls from agents claiming to have a supposed offer from Atlético de Madrid.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 28 matches: 17 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 2,522 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and provided three assists.
