bloomshorts Manchester United’s Transfer Battle for Hjulmand
Manchester United remain contenders in the race to sign Sporting Lisbon’s central midfielder Morten Hjulmand, as per CaughtOffside. The Red Devils’ manager, Ruben Amorim, is reportedly keen on reuniting with his former player, despite competition from Juventus for the Danish international’s signature.
Juventus’ Hurdle in Securing Hjulmand
While Hjulmand has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Juventus, the Serie A giants are struggling to agree on a transfer fee with Sporting. With a release clause of €80m, Sporting may settle for around €50m, but Juventus’ current offer stands at €40m, potentially opening the door for United.
The Amorim Factor and Other Suitors
The connection between Amorim and Hjulmand could prove pivotal, even as the player leans towards a move to Turin. Interest from other top clubs like Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Tottenham adds complexity to the transfer saga, with Arsenal having previously considered Hjulmand before opting for other targets.
United’s Financial Considerations
Manchester United’s ability to meet Sporting’s demands hinges on player sales, with the club already committing significant funds to other transfers. The potential departures of players like Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho could be key to unlocking the funds needed for Hjulmand’s acquisition.
