Hjulmand turned down Sporting exit, even for triple wages | OneFootball

In the last transfer window, Morten Hjulmand reportedly turned down offers to leave Sporting that would have ended up tripling his salary. One of these offers is said to have come from Manchester United, under pressure from Ruben Amorim, who continues to have the Lions’ captain high on his list of priorities.

This information is being reported by Ekrem Konur – a Turkish specialist in transfer news – who also adds that the Old Trafford club is preparing a new approach for the Danish international in January. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that Frederico Varandas refuses to sell Hjulmand this winter, having even reached this agreement with the player.

The truth is that Manchester United does not intend to give up on Sporting’s midfielder. Ruben Amorim is seen as a possible ‘talisman’ in a potential deal, with the Red Devils believing it’s possible to convince the President of the Green and Whites to release Hjulmand for 50 million euros, even though the player’s contract release clause is set at 80 million.

The good relationship between Hjulmand and Ruben Amorim is considered a key element in the deal, as the British portal points to the former Sporting coach’s strong belief in being able to convince the Lions’ number 42 to head to Old Trafford.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 13 matches. The captain of the Green and Whites started in every game played by the Lions, scoring one goal in 1,270 minutes of play.
