Morten Hjulmand, a 26-year-old midfielder for Sporting Portugal (under contract until 2028) and Denmark, has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain as they look to strengthen their squad during the 2024 summer transfer window. Interest in the player has been reignited today. PSG Inside Actus reported on Sunday that Paris are keeping a close eye on the situation, while Juventus are struggling to finalize the transfer.
“While Juventus is reported to be in pole position, several voices are pointing out that no final agreement has been reached. Among the contenders who could shake things up, Paris Saint-Germain is high on the list.
In Italy, some media outlets claim that Hjulmand has already given Juventus the green light for a five-year contract worth around €3 million net per season. However, nothing has been signed yet. Sporting, which has a high release clause (estimated at €60-80 million), refuses to negotiate below that amount, while Juve is only offering around €40 million plus bonuses.
Added to this is a financial obstacle: in order to move forward with this transfer, Juventus must first sell several players, which is delaying any conclusion.
According to our information, PSG is closely monitoring the situation. Luis Campos likes Hjulmand’s profile, seeing him as a hard-working midfielder capable of winning the ball back and quickly launching attacking transitions. Paris has not yet made an official offer, but the management remains attentive, especially if the deadlock between Juventus and Sporting continues.”
Nothing is impossible. Hjulmand is one of the big revelations of the season in Portugal, continuing to improve. His profile as a 6’1″ defensive midfielder could be a good fit for the Parisian squad, especially since he also knows how to use the ball. It would be interesting to see him try to take his career to the next level, and PSG could take that gamble.
However, there is nothing concrete at the moment. This possibility could be confirmed, or it could come to nothing. It is always difficult to know which players PSG intends to sign. And even if an agreement is reached, it is not guaranteed, especially with competition already in place. We will therefore wait and see how things develop.
