Hjulmand and Trincão could bring Sporting a fortune, Varandas eyes 90m | OneFootball

Sporting is about to enter a new phase of the transfer market. After investing close to €80 million in five signings for Rui Borges, the SAD led by Frederico Varandas is now preparing to complete two major sales: Morten Hjulmand and Francisco Trincão are expected to bring around €90 million into Sporting’s coffers.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Atlético Madrid remain in talks to sign Hjulmand and are expected to submit a new offer in the coming days. After seeing a €35 million bid rejected, the Spanish club knows it will have to reach €40 million fixed, plus bonuses, to convince Sporting to let their Danish captain leave.

Francisco Trincão is also on his way out of Alvalade. Al Ahli are preparing a move for the Portugal international and have already indicated they are willing to proceed with a deal worth around €45 million. Even so, the Lions want to receive around €50 million, so negotiations are expected to continue until a formal offer closer to the SAD’s demands is submitted.

With these two deals, Sporting hope to quickly recoup the investment made in this transfer window. So far, Frederico Varandas has secured Rodrigo Zalazar (€30 million), Issa Doumbia (€20 million), Sergi Altimira (€18 million), Silas Andersen (€7.25 million) and Pedro Lima (€4 million), for a total of €79.25 million.

In addition to Hjulmand and Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves remains one of the players who could leave Alvalade before the market closes. However, unlike the other two cases, no concrete offer has yet arrived for the Portugal international, despite interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and other European leagues.
