Morten Hjulmand Enters Manchester United's Radar

Press reports have revealed that Manchester United is monitoring the situation of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Hjulmand, who is also attracting interest from Arsenal, with the possibility of him being available during the summer transfer window.

According to 'CaughtOffside', Arsenal showed interest in the player during the two teams' meeting in the Champions League quarter-finals, and the London club continues to follow his development alongside interest from other clubs.

In the same context, Manchester United is closely monitoring the player's situation, as they plan to strengthen the midfield this summer, with the club expected to sign players in this position.

The source indicated that Hjulmand is not Manchester United's primary target, but he is among the list of players being scouted, with the possibility of his transfer for 60 million euros.

The reports also clarified that Sporting Lisbon may be open to selling the player during the summer for an amount less than the 80 million euro release clause, with the club ready to enter negotiations starting from 60 million euros.

Sources added that several major clubs are following the player, including Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus, with expectations that they will enter the race to sign him during the summer.

On the other hand, reports indicate that Sporting Lisbon prefers to open the door for a bidding war among clubs, which could raise the deal's value to near the release clause, as the player continues to attract increasing interest from Europe's elite.
