Alert! Hjulmand's agents make decisive move to prise him from Sporting | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand’s transfer to Atlético Madrid has entered a decisive phase. The Sporting captain’s representatives are already in the Spanish capital to try to conclude negotiations and seal the Danish international’s move to the Metropolitano.

According to Matteo Moretto, in information reported by Marca, Hjulmand’s agents are in Madrid to finalize the final details of the deal, allowing the midfielder to join Diego Simeone’s pre-season camp.

Despite progress in the talks, there is still a gap between what the two clubs want. Atlético Madrid remain determined not to exceed an offer of €35 million fixed, plus €5 million in add-ons, while Sporting continue to demand a higher fee to let the player leave.

Negotiations have intensified in recent days, and all parties remain confident that an agreement can be reached. Morten Hjulmand has already agreed personal terms with Atlético Madrid on a long-term contract, with only the final agreement between the two clubs still pending.

If the deal is completed in the coming hours, the Danish midfielder will travel immediately to join the Spanish side’s preparations, missing Sporting’s training camp in Lagos. Rui Borges, meanwhile, is preparing to lose one of the squad’s main pillars before the official start of the season.
