Just one detail left for Hjulmand to swap Sporting for Atlético Madrid | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand is getting ever closer to swapping Sporting for Atlético Madrid. The 27-year-old Danish midfielder has reached an agreement in principle with the Spanish club and is now waiting for the colchoneros to move forward with formal negotiations with Sporting’s SAD.

According to Mais Futebol, the Danish international has already reached an understanding with Atlético Madrid regarding the main terms of his future contract. The next step now is an agreement between the two clubs, at a time when the Spaniards have yet to submit any official offer.

The board led by Frederico Varandas is aware of the talks between Hjulmand and Atlético, but has still not received any formal contact from the Madrid side. Even so, Sporting is sticking to the position already defined for this process and will only consider negotiating the captain for a fee in the region of €40 million, with the deal potentially reaching €50 million through add-ons.

Diego Simeone continues to see Hjulmand as a priority to strengthen the midfield, and the colchoneros’ interest has intensified in recent weeks. The Danish international, for his part, is open to the move to the Spanish capital and hopes the matter will be resolved during this summer transfer window.

Despite the growing likelihood of a departure, Hjulmand remains under contract with Sporting until June 2028 and has remained fully professional in the situation. The midfielder was allowed to report later to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy after his international commitments and holiday period, but if the transfer does not materialize in the meantime, he will return to work fully committed to Rui Borges and to preparing for the new season.
