Manchester United, a rival, might put up a fight to sign Morten Hjulmand with Liverpool. Under Ruben Amorim, who is also being linked to a move to Anfield, the Sporting CP star has shown promise.

Merseysiders may expect a summer of transition as Jurgen Klopp’s nine-year tenure at Liverpool draws to a close. The Reds are predicted to be active throughout the transfer window as well, and they already have one man on their radar in Hjulmand.

Hjulmand has reportedly drawn attention from the Premier League’s biggest clubs in recent weeks, with Liverpool sending scouts to Portugal to take a closer look at him, according to HITC. However, other elite teams that are also rumored to be interested could present fierce competition for the Anfield team.

Just two of the top-tier English teams rumored to be keeping an eye on Hjulmand in the lead-up to the summer transfer season are United and Tottenham Hotspur. He has previously declared his loyalty to one Premier League team, so Hjulmand might be a little disappointed if he signs with any of these teams.

This is due to the Dane’s alleged Arsenal fandom; in fact, Hjulmand is so devoted to the Gunners that he had the club’s crest permanently inked on his bicep. He stated: “When we were younger, my dad supported Arsenal, and we watched games together” in an interview with the Portuguese publication Record.

However, Sporting is rumored to have a sizable release clause, so clubs looking to sign him this summer may face more obstacles than just his fan base. The Manchester Evening News reports that teams will need to spend an incredible £69 million to acquire the 24-year-old.

Furthermore, Hjulmand, who transferred from Lecce to Sporting last year, is also thought to be happy playing for the Primeira Liga team. Hjulmand recently shared his passion for Sporting and Lisbon in an interview with A Bola, saying, “You have no idea how much I like living here with my fiancé. It’s an incredible nation and city.

“I really appreciate being close to Lisbon in a nation with beautiful weather, good food, and good beaches. Playing here is one thing. Amorim has a strong affinity for tactics. A player’s and the team’s understanding of what the coach requests is crucial. We can all clearly see it.
