Sporting star Morten Hjulmand is not in the group of Danish players who have succeeded in Bodø/Glimt and conquered the whole world. – On the contrary, he was central in sending them home from the Champions League and with that put himself on the map at several giant clubs.
A Bola, who believes that the Primeira league will be poorer without Morten Hjulmand, reports today that the race for what could be one of the summer’s big transfers has started. Sporting, who bought Morten Hjulmand from Lecce in the summer of 2023 for €19.5 million, have so far denied all attempts to talk about an exit, but now that there is talk of sums more than three times, it is starting to get difficult.

The Danish international Morten Hjulmand has been faithful to Sporting since 2023, but the 26-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a long time, where the Manchester clubs have been the ones who are most eager to make a transfer.
Manchester City have reportedly held “informal talks” with Hjulmand regarding a possible move to the light blue part of Manchester. Manchester City right now are close to signing the Dane, while both Manchester United and Juventus are also lurking in the wings. – It helps to drive up the price. Transfermarkt believes he is worth 45 million euros, while it is tempted with between 60 and 70 million euros.
Morten Hjulmand has played 136 games for Sporting, where he is team captain, and has a contract with the Lisbon club until the summer of 2028.
The Portuguese newspaper expects the talks to intensify over the course of the month.
