Morten Hjulmand Transfer from Sporting CP to Manchester City
Portuguese newspaper Record reported on Wednesday that City are competing with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur for the £70m signing of Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand. The report also stated that City have identified Hjulmand as an ideal signing to help them move on from Rodri, due to concerns the Ballon d’Or winner might not return to his highest level of performance.
According to the Portuguese newspaper Record, Man City are in the leading position to sign Hjulmand from Sporting in January, and three Premier League giants are described as the main clubs able to meet his €80million (£70m / $93m) release clause. It is reported that Sporting believe a gentleman’s agreement is in place with Hjulmand, which means he will not push for a January exit, but the club would be unable to prevent his departure if the £70m clause is triggered. Hjulmand is supposedly keen to play in the Premier League, and a move to England could result in his €38.5k (£33.9k / $44.8k) Sporting wage being more than tripled.
Football Insider reported that Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand is expected to be available for approximately £50 million ($66.7 million), and that Manchester City is also pursuing the 26-year-old.
