Last summer, Manchester United already attempted to sign Hjulmand, viewing him as a potential replacement for the departing Casemiro. However, at that time, the Lisbon side flatly refused to sell their midfield leader.
In addition to the Red Devils, London’s Arsenal have also been closely monitoring Hjulmand, eager to reinforce their midfield this summer.
This season, Hjulmand has made 43 appearances for Sporting, scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists. His contract runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €45 million.
