Bombshell! Spaniards say Hjulmand already has a deal to leave Sporting | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand’s possible move to Atlético de Madrid continues to gather momentum in Spain, and the signs given by Sporting in the transfer market are helping to fuel that scenario. With several midfield moves already completed and others in the works, the Lions are preparing for a possible farewell to their Danish captain.

According to newspaper AS, Atlético de Madrid view the signing of Hjulmand as an absolute priority for the new season. The Spanish club want to strengthen an area of the pitch that showed weaknesses throughout 2025/26, largely due to the physical problems that affected some of the most important midfielders in Diego Simeone’s squad.

The same publication states that there is already an agreement between the Colchoneros and the Danish international, describing the deal as Atlético’s first major move in this transfer window. The process is being closely monitored by Mateu Alemany, the new director of professional football at the Madrid club, who took office last October.

From Sporting’s side, Hjulmand’s departure is seen as a real possibility, although the Lions’ hierarchy continue to work to secure the best possible financial return. The midfielder has a valid contract and remains one of the squad’s most important figures, but the understanding between the player and the club to facilitate a transfer this summer has long been known.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – featured in 45 matches: 27 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup.
