Sporting and Hjulmand decide future: Serie A or Premier League | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand’s future continues to attract plenty of attention and, at this stage, Italy and England appear to be the strongest destinations for the Sporting captain. The Denmark international has authorization from Sporting’s SAD to leave in this summer transfer window, provided an offer arrives within the figures previously agreed between player and club.

As previously reported, Frederico Varandas remains intent on keeping the promise made to the midfielder last summer. Although his release clause is set at €80 million, the Lions are willing to negotiate a transfer for between €40 million and €50 million, an amount considered fair for one of the squad’s most highly valued assets.

According to newspaper A Bola, Morten Hjulmand has been holding regular talks with the Sporting hierarchy about the scenarios taking shape in the market. Italy remains a destination the player greatly appreciates, as he has excellent memories of his spell at Lecce, while the Premier League remains one of the major goals of his career.

In Italian football, AC Milan have gained momentum in recent weeks. Ruben Amorim’s arrival in charge of the rossoneri has given fresh impetus to the interest in Sporting’s midfielder, not least because it was the Portuguese coach who approved his signing from Lecce in 2023. Juventus, meanwhile, seem to have lost ground due to internal changes and a renewed commitment to Manuel Locatelli for the deeper midfield role.

In England, Manchester City and Arsenal remain attentive to the situation of the green-and-white captain. The English champions have Hugo Viana as an important asset in the process, while the London club were particularly impressed by the Dane’s displays in the Champions League clashes between Sporting and Arsenal. For now, Alvalade has yet to receive any formal offers, but the expectation is that the case will gather pace after the World Cup.
