Juventus are closely monitoring the situation of Morten Hjulmand as the Danish midfielder continues to attract strong interest from across Europe ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to TuttoJuve, the Sporting CP captain could leave Lisbon if the Portuguese club receives an offer considered suitable for one of their most valuable assets.

Despite being under contract until 2028, Hjulmand’s future is far from certain. Sporting reportedly value the midfielder at around €60 million, even though his official release clause is set at €80 million.
Sources close to the situation suggest the Portuguese giants are prepared to negotiate below the clause in order to secure a major capital gain.
Premier League Giants Also Pushing
Juventus are said to be highly impressed by Hjulmand’s tactical intelligence, leadership qualities, and ability to control the game from deep midfield.
The Bianconeri view him as an ideal profile to strengthen a midfield department expected to undergo significant changes this summer.
However, the Italian side face strong competition from the Premier League. Manchester United and Arsenal are currently among the most active clubs in the race for the Danish international.
United have reportedly requested continuous updates on the player’s situation, while Arsenal have already opened preliminary talks with both Sporting and the player’s representatives.

Juventus Planning Major Midfield Revolution
The pursuit of Hjulmand underlines Juventus’ ambition to rebuild a more competitive and physically dominant squad capable of returning to the top of both Italian and European football.
Much will depend on the club’s financial flexibility and qualification for next season’s Champions League, but the Bianconeri appear determined to invest heavily in elite international talent once again.
For now, Hjulmand remains one of the hottest names on the European transfer market, with several top clubs preparing for what could become one of the summer’s biggest midfield battles.
