Manchester United is attempting to secure the transfer of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Hjulmand, facing a potential £69 million price tag.
Share:Manchester United is actively pursuing a potential transfer for Sporting Lisbon’s talented midfielder, Morten Hjulmand, with the club possibly facing a hefty £69 million expenditure for his services.
Despite the fact that Hjulmand only made the switch to Sporting from Lecce last summer, speculations arise regarding the feasibility of his departure in such a short span.
Reports suggest that Manchester United has initiated discussions with Sporting, proposing a swap deal involving Facundo Pellistri to sweeten the deal. However, negotiations could steer towards the activation of Hjulmand’s £69 million buy-out clause if the initial proposal does not materialize.
The 24-year-old Danish midfielder could prove to be a valuable addition to Old Trafford, especially considering Erik ten Hag’s need for midfield reinforcement following a downturn in Casemiro’s form this season.
Manchester United’s summer acquisition, Sofyan Amrabat, on loan from Fiorentina, appears to have fallen short of expectations. With the Moroccan international struggling to make a significant impact, a permanent move seems improbable.
