Rui Borges on possible Hjulmand exit from Sporting: If he leaves... | OneFootball

The news about Morten Hjulmand’s possible departure at the end of the current season has been increasing more and more. As a result, Rui Borges was asked about that possibility and had some praise for Sporting’s captain, while assuring that he is not irreplaceable.

"It’s inevitable that people talk about him. He’s having a good season, he already had a great season last year, with everything Sporting are showing at European level, and it’s only natural that people talk about Morten and other players. It makes us happy, it’s a sign that the collective work is being done well. I see it naturally, football is an industry. Whether he leaves or not, I’m very practical: I’ll be happy if he stays, if he doesn’t, someone else of quality will come to Sporting, and it’s part of our job to add value and help players grow," he began by saying.

Meanwhile, the green-and-white coach assured that Geovany Quenda "has been called up" for Sporting’s trip to Reboleira, where Rui Borges warns of "a team that is strong on the counterattack, with quick players and technically gifted in the final third."

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – has played in 39 matches: 24 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, nine in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
