Arsenal and Manchester United are leading the pursuit of Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand. A reported fee of around €34 million is expected, while his release clause is set at double that amount. Sporting CP is reportedly open to selling him for a more reasonable price. Hjulmand, a 26-year-old Denmark international, plays as a defensive midfielder who disrupts opposition attacks and controls game tempo from deep. Arsenal are seeking an upgrade on Christian Norgaard and want added physicality and defensive solidity. Manchester United need a replacement for Casemiro after his decision to leave, and it remains uncertain whether Hjulmand will choose them. He is a boyhood Arsenal fan with a Gunners tattoo, which could influence his decision if Arsenal offers an attractive deal.
"He is a boyhood Arsenal fan with a tattoo of the Gunners. If there is an attractive proposal on the table from Arsenal, he could be tempted to join them instead. Meanwhile, the 34 million asking price is reasonable for a player of his quality and experience. He could prove to be a bargain at that price."
