Sporting have a date for Hjulmand’s successor to arrive | OneFootball

Silas Andersen is preparing to experience a landmark moment in his career. The Danish midfielder will play his final match for Häcken this Sunday before heading to Lisbon to sign for Sporting and begin a new chapter in European football.

The match against Hammarby, part of the 11th round of the Swedish league, will also be the team’s final fixture before the summer break. In this way, the Denmark under-21 international will have the chance to say goodbye to the fans who have supported him over the past season and a half at the Nordic Wellness Arena.

The agreement between Sporting and Häcken has been sealed for several days. The Lions will pay a fixed €7 million for the player’s transfer, with the fee potentially rising to €10 million if previously agreed objectives are met. Once Sunday’s match is over, Andersen is expected in Portugal at the start of next week to undergo medical tests and sign a contract valid until 2031.

The move to Alvalade represents an important step in the career of the 21-year-old midfielder, who will have the opportunity to compete for titles and make his debut in the Champions League. In addition, Silas Andersen arrives with the mission of helping fill the void left by Morten Hjulmand, who continues to be linked with a move away during this transfer window.

The player himself recently did not hide his excitement at the opportunity to wear the green and white shirt. After the draw against Elfsborg, a match in which he scored a goal, Andersen publicly admitted his interest in representing the Lions. “Sporting is a big club... a really huge one. For me, it would be recognition for the work I have put into my career. Of course, I am 100% interested because it could be a good place for me,” he said.
