Atlético Madrid has completed one of the most famous transfers of this summer. Morten Hjulmand joined Diego Simeone’s team and after a successful period at Sporting CP, he decided to take the next step in his career. The Spaniards paid a considerable amount for the Denmark representative, and the midfielder signed a long-term contract with the club.
Morten Hjulmand is the new Atlético Madrid player
Atlético Madrid officially confirmed the acquisition of Morten Hjulmand. The Danish midfielder is leaving Sporting CP on a permanent transfer and will represent the Spanish club from the new season. The Madrid team’s management has completed negotiations, finalizing one of the most important transactions of the summer transfer window.
According to the disclosed information, Atlético will pay Sporting a basic amount of EUR 40 million. The contract also provides for bonuses that could increase the value of the transfer by another five million euros. The footballer signed a contract valid until June 30, 2031.
The interest was not limited to Atlético Madrid
Morten Hjulmand’s good form in the Portuguese league meant that his name regularly appeared in the context of a transfer to one of the European giants. For a long time, the most talked about was a possible move to Manchester United, where he could work with Rúben Amorim again.
However, after changes on the coaching bench of the English club, the topic lost its relevance. Over time, Manchester City and Real Madrid also began to be associated with interest, but in both cases no concrete actions were taken. Milan, again led by Amorim, also tried to return to the fight for the Dane’s signature, but Atlético Madrid’s talks were already so advanced that the player did not consider changing direction.
A successful chapter at Sporting CP
Hjulmand leaves Sporting after two very successful seasons. During this time, he played 141 official matches, scored 10 goals and made 12 assists. His attitude in midfield was one of the important elements of the Portuguese team’s success.
His stay in Lisbon also brought him valuable trophies. Together with Sporting, he won two Portuguese champion titles and a national cup, confirming his value both at the national and international level.
Another reinforcement for Diego Simeone’s team
Before moving to Portugal, the Dane developed in the academies of Copenhagen and Admira Wacker, and then continued his career in Lecce, Italy. Now he will face a new challenge in La Liga, where he will have the opportunity to compete for the highest goals in the colors of Atlético Madrid.
Hjulmand became the second player acquired by the Madrid club during the summer transfer window. Earlier, the team was joined by Alejandro Grimaldo, which shows that Atlético is consistently building its team with a view to fighting for the most important trophies in the upcoming season.
