Morten Hjulmand is primary target for Juventus

Juventus continue their aggressive pursuit of midfield reinforcements this summer. The Serie A giants are reportedly pushing to secure the services of Sporting CP’s Danish star, Morten Hjulmand.

Talks have accelerated in recent days, and the Bianconeri are seriously considering Hjulmand to strengthen their core.

According to Italian journalist Giovanni Albanese, Juventus are also progressing with the sale of Alberto Costa to Sporting CP.

While Juve had initially been reluctant to part ways with the player, the financial benefits are now too significant to ignore.

Sporting’s willingness to pay a premium has encouraged Juventus to rethink their strategy, especially in light of Financial Fair Play regulations.

Negotiations for Costa are moving fast, and an agreement could be reached within days. Meanwhile, Juventus have begun preliminary talks for Hjulmand, who has climbed their shortlist rapidly over the last 48 hours.

Club directors believe Hjulmand’s qualities match perfectly with their future midfield project. They see his leadership and tactical intelligence as valuable assets for the upcoming season.

Hjulmand’s move to Turin gathers momentum

Hjulmand is currently valued at €50 million, but Sporting are open to discussing a transfer. Conversations between Juventus and the player’s representatives suggest there is concrete interest from the Danish midfielder to join the Turin-based outfit.

The prospect of playing in Serie A and competing at the highest level appears to be a strong motivating factor for the player.

Although the potential transfer of Costa and the negotiations for Hjulmand are separate deals, the strong relationship between Juventus and Sporting could help smooth the path.

Juventus are confident that positive dialogue will help them achieve both objectives. Should Juventus succeed, they will add a player with outstanding defensive qualities, vision, and maturity beyond his years.

Hjulmand could be the cornerstone of a midfield rebuild aimed at restoring Juventus to European prominence.
