This past summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed strong interest in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Hjulmand. However, Sporting held firm, stating they wouldn’t sell him unless his €80 million release clause was activated.

Last season, the 24-year-old made 49 appearances across all competitions, netting four goals and providing four assists. Hjulmand played a crucial role in helping Sporting Lisbon secure the league title, which has drawn the attention of several top European clubs.
In addition to PSG, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Barcelona were also reportedly interested in Hjulmand.
The Parisians have an excellent relationship with Sporting Lisbon following the sales of Nuno Mendes and Manuel Ugarte in recent years, so it will be interesting to see if they can leverage this in any type of negotiation.
