Sporting could sell €80 million-rated midfielder this summer with Man City taking ‘concrete steps’ Manchester City’s Hugo Viana is reportedly driving a move for Morten Hjulmand. Sporting are reportedly willing to negotiate a deal in the €40m–€50m range. Interest in the Sporting captain comes amid growing uncertainty regarding midfield futures.
Hugo Viana and Manchester City have reportedly taken ‘concrete steps’ towards signing Sporting’s Morten Hjulmand during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Danish international has enjoyed a meteoric rise since arriving in Lisbon from Lecce for €19. 5 million in 2023, and now serving as Sporting’s captain, Hjulmand has been the tactical anchor for a side that has secured consecutive league titles and impressed in Europe.
For Manchester City, now-sporting director Hugo Viana was the man largely responsible for Hjulmand’s success in Portugal, and as he further embeds himself into his role at the Etihad Stadium, he appears determined to bring the Dane with him. While City are currently chasing a domestic cup double and preparing for a season-defining clash with Arsenal on April 26, the club’s hierarchy remains active behind the scenes to ensure the squad undergoes a refresh in parts for the 2026/27 campaign. Man City begin process of signing Hjulmand Now, according to A Bola , Manchester City have taken concrete steps to secure Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand in the next transfer window, having already made informal contact with the Portuguese giants’ management aiming of getting ahead of the competition.
City are said to have plenty in the way of competitors for the Denmark international’s signature including, among others, Juventus and Manchester United, and as such those at the Etihad Stadium want to secure the signing immediately after the end of the ongoing season. However, for now, there are no direct negotiations underway between the two clubs, although City are aware that despite that player being protected by an €80 million release clause, Sporting’s management is open to negotiating for between €40 million and €50 million. How could Hjulmand affect Man City’s midfield ranks?
