Morten Hjulmand's transfer saga is set to accelerate, and as A BOLA previously reported, this week will be decisive in finalizing the midfielder's move to Atlético Madrid. The Colchoneros, who have already seen one offer rejected by the Lions, are preparing a new bid in the coming hours, aiming to meet the €40 million asking price set by Sporting.
The directive is to expedite the process, especially since, as reported today by MARCA in Spain, the intention is to conclude the deal before the Madrid team returns to training on the 13th. Furthermore, this publication has learned that the agents of Sporting's captain are currently in the Spanish capital to push the transfer forward.
Sporting, it's worth remembering, continues to hold firm on their €40 million (plus bonuses) valuation, while Atlético has yet to exceed €35 million. This deadlock is expected to be broken by the Madrid side sometime this week.
