Hjulmand €10m from quitting Sporting for Simeone's Atlético | OneFootball

The future of Morten Hjulmand at Sporting continues to dominate the transfer market, and the Lions' board has reportedly already told Atlético de Madrid what the conditions are for releasing the captain. After rejecting an initial approach, the green-and-white officials are now waiting for a new move from the Spaniards.

According to the national press, Sporting will only agree to negotiate the Denmark international if a bid of €40 million fixed, plus a further €5 million in add-ons, is made. The Colchoneros' first offer, worth around €30 million plus €5 million in variables, fell well short of those demands.

Atlético de Madrid's interest is long-standing and has the approval of Diego Simeone, who sees Hjulmand as a priority to strengthen the midfield. A new offer from the Spanish club is now expected during the coming week.

On the player's side, the intention is to begin a new challenge in Spain. Hjulmand has reportedly already reached an agreement with Atlético de Madrid to sign a five-season contract, with only an agreement between the two clubs still needed for the transfer to be made official.

While the process continues, the Danish midfielder remains on holiday and has been instructed to report to Sporting's training camp in Lagos on July 11. Even so, there is an expectation that the matter will be resolved before that date.
