Hjulmand bids farewell to Sporting star, says he’s gutted | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand joined the Danish national team camp on a day when his compatriot and Sporting teammate, Conrad Harder, ended up swapping the Alvalade club for Leipzig. In a press conference, the Sporting captain wished his compatriot good luck.

"I hope Conrad is successful with his transfer today and that he has a good start at his new club. Of course, I'm sad to lose a Dane from the team, but I wish him all the best in the world at his new club," said the Lions' midfielder.

Conrad Harder has already said goodbye to Sporting fans. The striker, who transferred from the national champions to Leipzig in a deal worth 24 million euros fixed plus six in bonuses and 15% of any future sale profit, left a message for the Lions' fans, thanking them for their support.

“Hello, Sporting fans. I just want to thank you for all the support. I'm very happy for what you did for me, especially in the last game. The support you gave me throughout this year was incredible, and being champions with you was wonderful. Your support was always magnificent, I'm very grateful. I loved playing for you. Lastly, I would like to say ‘thank you very much’, Sporting fans.”

Signed at the start of 2024/25 from Nordsjaelland for a base fee of 19 million euros, the now Danish international leaves Sporting with 52 appearances and 12 goals, as well as seven assists. His last goal was scored in the Lions’ 4-1 win over Nacional.
