Baroni tips Sporting star for Italy move: "He could play there" | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand has been highly sought after by several foreign clubs. In Italy, Juventus has been following the Sporting captain since last season, and Marco Baroni, who coached the midfielder at Lecce, believes that the 'number 42' of the lions would succeed in Turin.

"He adapted well to Italian football and has the quality to play for one of the big clubs in Italy. It's an ideal style of play for him. You can see that he is even more mature now. He is a practical and intelligent player," the coach began by saying to the newspaper Record.

Marco Baroni recalled the times he worked with the midfielder and notes an evolution: "At Lecce, he was already technically good, but he was in a team that had less possession. Now he has changed and shown what he can be worth. He has the quality to play in a big club that maintains possession."

To conclude, the coach mentioned that "Hjulmand is a natural leader. And a very strong player both physically and mentally," who "is experiencing a period of affirmation but can still evolve further. He has everything to reach a high level in European football and in big clubs. He is very intelligent on the field and attentive to everything that happens."
