Leonino exclusive confirmed! Altimira on Sporting's list | OneFootball

Leonino Exclusive confirmed! Sporting are already preparing for the future of their midfield in light of Morten Hjulmand’s likely departure in the summer and have Sergi Altimira among the names on the table, just as our newspaper had already reported. The Real Betis midfielder appears as one of the main alternatives identified by the lions’ hierarchy.

At 24, Altimira has been one of the standout players in the Seville side this season, showing tactical and technical qualities that appeal at Alvalade. Even so, according to Mais Futebol this Monday, Sporting are keeping a short list of targets and have not yet defined an absolute priority to succeed in midfield.

Developed at Barcelona, Sergi Altimira began his professional career at Sabadell before establishing himself at Real Betis, where he has now been playing for three seasons. He is currently under 'evaluation' by the green-and-white club’s technical structure, and the market could bring developments.

As for Morten Hjulmand, it is virtually certain that the Danish captain will leave Sporting at the end of the current season, in a deal that the lions expect to complete for between €40 million and €50 million.

This season, Sergi Altimira - valued at €20 million - has already made 38 appearances for Real Betis: 22 in La Liga, 11 in the Europa League and five in the Copa del Rey. In total, the Spanish midfielder has been on the pitch for 2,096 minutes, registering two goals and two assists.
