Hjulmand set to leave Sporting as Milan eye reunion with Amorim

Morten Hjulmand has said his goodbyes at Sporting CP after three years with the club and a spell as captain, signalling that his time at the Estadio Jose Alvalade has come to a close. The 26-year-old Danish midfielder had pushed for a move last year but was blocked; Sporting had subsequently promised he could depart this summer for a "favourable price".

Ruben Amorim, who brought Hjulmand to Lisbon in 2023 and handed him the captain’s armband, is keen to reunite with the midfielder at AC Milan. Amorim has reportedly discussed Hjulmand with the Milan hierarchy, viewing him as the ideal profile to anchor the Rossoneri midfield next season, and the player is said to welcome the idea of working again with the coach.

Milan face competition for Hjulmand from Atletico Madrid and a number of Premier League clubs.
