Liverpool and Manchester United are watching Morten Hjulmand in close quarters at the Euros ahead of a possible approach.
According to HITC, Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in Morten Hjulmand ahead of the summer. The Premier League giants are planning on watching the Sporting CP midfielder closely at the Euros, with an approach that is quite possible in the next phase.
Liverpool and Manchester United watching Morten Hjulmand
Morten Hjulmand continues to make strides and improve his reputation ahead of a potential big move to one of the top clubs this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder was essential to Sporting CP’s season, where they clinched the league title. However, most of the gloss and plaudits were taken away by the prolific Viktor Gyokeres after a stellar goalscoring season.
Hjulmand has been stellar for Ruben Amorim’s side and already has a few clubs like Tottenham trailing his signature. Spurs have been watching him consistently alongside a few other of their rivals. Fulham are considering him as a replacement for Joao Palhinha, but clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are ready to step up their interest.
Manchester United have been tracking him, but now they and Liverpool are about to watch him much closer during the Euros. The Premier League duo are in the hunt for a stellar midfielder to add to their ranks and may consider the 24-year-old Sporting CP star as one of the ideal candidates.
Hjulmand scored a screamer for Denmark against England this week and will have some level of focus on his performances, especially if the Danes progress through their group. Liverpool are in the hunt for a midfielder to add to their central zones, while Manchester United might seek a replacement for Casemiro.
Will Sporting CP sell Hjulmand?
Teams like Tottenham have shown ample interest right from March, and now, with Liverpool and Manchester United stepping up their interest, Sporting CP have a big battle on their hands. The Portuguese side are keen on keeping the midfielder and is protected by a reported £67 million release clause.
However, clubs can always trigger that clause, which will leave Sporting CP powerless, although these teams will surely try to find a way to bring the price down through active negotiations. As for Liverpool and Manchester United or even Tottenham, the Euros are a great opportunity to gauge the 24-year-old’s talents closely, as he might continue to perform well for Denmark.
