Morten Hjulmand on Real Madrid's radar
Although he plays for Sporting CP, one of Benfica’s domestic rivals, his performances have made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the market.
Earlier reports, featured by GiveMeSport, from Portugal suggested that Arsenal and Manchester United were leading the race for his signature.
The 26-year-old is said to have a £70 million release clause in his contract, although it has been claimed that an agreement could allow him to leave for around £35 million this summer.
Despite strong interest from Premier League sides, Jose Mourinho’s involvement could shift the balance in Real Madrid’s favour, potentially hijacking the transfer battle.
