Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal with Sporting to sign Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand for a reported 40 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonuses.

The 24-year-old Hjulmand was previously linked with AC Milan, but according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Rossoneri never considered him a concrete target.

Hjulmand's move to Atletico marks a new chapter in his career, with the Spanish club securing one of Europe's top young midfielders.

The rumors surrounding Hjulmand's potential move to Milan had surfaced in June, but they appear to have been unfounded.

With this signing, Atletico Madrid continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Hjulmand's performances for Sporting had caught the attention of several top clubs.

Fabrizio Romano's confirmation of Milan's lack of interest in Hjulmand will come as a relief to some Rossoneri fans.

The club's focus now turns to other targets as they look to bolster their squad.

Atletico Madrid's capture of Hjulmand is a significant coup in the transfer market.

Hjulmand's future in the Liga now looks set, as he prepares to join Atletico Madrid.

The Danish midfielder's talent and potential will undoubtedly be an asset to his new club.

This transfer deal highlights the competitive nature of the summer transfer window.
