Another signing on the way! Ex-Inter Milan midfielder close to Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting are set to secure Silas Andersen, a 21-year-old Danish midfielder who plays for Hacken, but who was at Inter Milan in 2022/23. The aim is to secure another option for midfield, following the arrivals of Rodrigo Zalazar and Pedro Lima.

On the Swedish club’s side, the departure of the young midfielder is seen as an increasingly likely scenario, although the board is trying to maximize the financial return from the transfer. The internal valuation points to a sale of up to €10 million.

Erik Friberg, Hacken’s sporting director, made it clear in statements to the Swedish newspaper Expressen that the player is “very good” and that his staying on after the World Cup is unrealistic: “It’s very unlikely. People have already been talking about it a little. Or rather, they’ve always talked about him. But it also seems that he is ready to take the next step in his career. It was perfect for him to stay here for about 18 months. We would have preferred to have him here for another six months, or a year. But I think that may be difficult”, he stressed.

Sporting, who had already shown interest in the midfielder in January but then chose not to move forward, are now back strongly in the process, at a time when the restructuring of the midfield has become a priority due to the departure of Hidemasa Morita and the likely transfer of Morten Hjulmand.

This season, Silas Andersen - valued at €2 million - has already played nine matches for Hacken: seven in the league and two in the cup. In total, the Danish midfielder has been on the pitch for 731 minutes, scoring one goal.
