Hjulmand opens up in Sporting farewell and makes a promise (video) | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand officially said goodbye to Sporting with a message full of emotion. After being unveiled as a new Atlético Madrid signing, the Danish international left words of thanks to the Sporting fans and assured them that Alvalade will always hold a special place in his life.

In a video shared by Sporting on social media, the former captain began by recalling the three years he spent at the Club. "Hello, Sportinguistas. Today is also a somewhat sad day, because I’m leaving my Sporting, where I grew, where I loved every moment at the Academy, in matches, at home and away. I want to thank all the Sportinguistas, staff and players for the moments we shared. I loved them all," he said.

Hjulmand also made a point of highlighting the personal bond he built with the Club during his time at Alvalade. "Sporting has a place in my heart. It was here that my daughter was born and one day, in the future, I will tell her that I was captain of Sporting. An enormous pride that will always stay with me," he confessed.

Before ending his message, the midfielder made a promise to the Sporting fans: "I will come back in the future, for sure, and now I will be just another supporter. Come on, Sporting", making it clear that he will continue to follow the Club despite the move to Spain.

Morten Hjulmand thus brings to a close a three-season spell at Sporting, a period in which he won two league titles and one Portuguese Cup, while also establishing himself as one of the leading figures in the Lions’ dressing room. The transfer to Atlético Madrid brings 40 million euros into Sporting’s coffers, a figure that could rise to 45 million depending on objectives.
