Atletico Reaches Agreement with Sporting CP Captain

Atletico Madrid has reached an agreement on personal terms with Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand, according to the Spanish outlet "AS." The Danish international's contract is set to run until 2031, with an option for an additional season.

However, the two clubs have yet to agree on a transfer fee. The Portuguese giants are reportedly demanding around 60 million euros for their player. Atletico's sporting director, Mateu Alemany, is attempting to negotiate a lower price.

The deal is expected to be finalized for approximately 45 million euros, a sum that includes various bonuses.

Last season, the 27-year-old Hjulmand, who captains Sporting, played 27 matches in the Portuguese league, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists.
