Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand has been linked to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, but Portuguese media reports suggest that Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim is keen to keep the 24-year-old ¹.
Amorim considers Hjulmand “essential” to the squad and has reportedly “blocked” a potential transfer ². Despite interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Tottenham, and Barcelona, Amorim has asked Sporting CP to make an effort to retain Hjulmand for another year ³.
Hjulmand has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League, which could work in favor of Manchester United and Tottenham as they look to sign him ⁴.
However, Sporting CP has an €80m release clause in place, providing a significant margin for negotiation if the clubs decide to make an offer ⁵.
It remains to be seen whether Sporting CP’s stance will deter Manchester United and Tottenham from pursuing Hjulmand, who has been a target for both clubs for several months now.
