Ruben Amorim wants to poach Sporting key man for Milan | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand continues to attract interest and could reunite with Ruben Amorim as early as this summer transfer window. The Portuguese coach, who is close to being officially announced as Milan’s new manager, is a big admirer of the Sporting captain and would welcome the chance to work again with the Danish midfielder.

According to newspaper A Bola, Amorim has already started outlining the squad he wants to build at San Siro, and Hjulmand is among the players who have the coach’s full approval. The bond between the two is strong, not least because it was the coach himself who gave the green light to sign the Denmark international from Lecce in the summer of 2023.

During the time they worked together in Alvalade, Morten Hjulmand quickly established himself as one of the team’s standout figures, not only because of his performances on the pitch, but also due to the leadership he showed in the dressing room. These are qualities that Ruben Amorim continues to value highly.

The possibility of returning to Italian football could also appeal to the player. Hjulmand has never hidden his admiration for Serie A and was already close to returning to the country last summer, when he attracted strong interest from Juventus. At the time, he ended up staying at Sporting and renewed his faith in the club’s project.

Even so, a potential move to Milan does not appear to be straightforward. Despite the agreement in place between Frederico Varandas and the midfielder to facilitate a departure for a fee between €40 million and €50 million, the Italian club is facing financial limitations after failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
