- متحد push for reunion with Hjulmand
- يوفنتوس need sales to fund midfield bid
- Sporting open to negotiating €50m fee
United have submitted a €40m (£34m/$43m) offer for Hjulmand, pushing ahead of Juve in the race to sign the Danish midfielder, كالتشيو ميركاتو reports. United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly keen on reuniting with the 25-year-old, whom he previously built around in Lisbon. Juve, meanwhile, are struggling to match Sporting’s €50m (£42m/$54m) valuation and may attempt a part-exchange deal involving Douglas Luiz or Arthur Melo.
Hjulmand is emerging as one of the most in-demand midfielders in Europe. Sporting inserted an €80m (£68m/$87m) release clause when he joined but are now open to negotiations closer to €50m (£42m/$54m). Amorim’s move to Old Trafford has opened the door for a الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز reunion, and United have acted swiftly. Juve, despite long-standing interest, are being held back by financial constraints and internal squad trimming, including the unresolved future of Luiz, who has refused to turn up for pre-season training.
Hjulmand’s agent believes a deal could be struck for €30–40m, aligning with United’s current offer. The Dane, formerly of Lecce, would be open to a Premier League move, particularly to reunite with Amorim. Juve are still trying to offload Luiz, linked with وست هام, إيفرتون و فنربخشة, and are also offering Melo to sweeten the deal. However, Sporting’s fractured relationship with Juventus over a past deal involving Joao Mario and Alberto Costa could complicate negotiations.
United’s bid is now the benchmark, if Sporting reject it, a second offer is likely incoming, especially if Amorim makes Hjulmand a priority signing. For Juventus, finalising Luiz’s exit is essential before lodging a bid, although their preference to offer players in return could backfire.
