Morten Hjulmand could be available for €60 million this summer

Morten Hjulmand has been linked with a summer move away from Sporting CP, with Manchester City interested in him.

Moten Hjulmand is a target for Manchester City, and he could be available for a fee of €60 million. The Danish midfielder has a release clause of €80 million in his contract, but a report from Italian publication Calciomercato has claimed he could be signed for a more reasonable fee.

Manchester United have been linked with Hjulmand as well, but they will face stiff competition from Manchester City. Juventus are also interested in signing the Denmark International midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to submit an official offer to get the deal done.

Manchester City need a quality defensive midfielder to support Rodri, and signing the Sporting CP captain would be ideal for them. The Dane will also provide a leadership boost to the Premier League club.

• Pass accuracy: 91%
• Balls recovered per game: 6.1
• Tackles per game: 2.1

Hjulmand is at the peak of his career, and he is playing his best football in Portugal. This is the right time for him to take on a new challenge and prove his quality in the Premier League. The €60 million asking price seems affordable for a club like Manchester City.

They should be able to get the deal done if they are truly interested in the player. Convincing the midfielder to join Manchester City will not be difficult. He will look to take the next step in his career, and moving to one of the world’s biggest clubs will be exciting for him.

Manchester City could have an edge in transfer race

Manchester City’s sporting director, Hugo Viana, held a similar role at the Portuguese club for seven years, and his connections there could help Manchester City close the deal. It could give them an edge over clubs like Juventus. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

The 26-year-old is a capable passer, and he will add physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park as well. He could be the ideal acquisition for Manchester City. They are currently fighting for the Premier League title, but it has been a mediocre season by their standards.

Manchester City will look to bounce back strongly and compete on all fronts next season, hoping to compete for each trophy again. Improving the midfield unit should be a priority for them.
