Sporting Lisbon has reportedly been approached by Manchester United with an offer to exchange their winger, Facundo Pellistri, for Sporting’s midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
Hjulmand has been a target for Manchester United, and although he has a significant release clause of £69 million, the Red Devils are proposing the swap deal to secure his services.
However, Sporting Lisbon is not currently willing to consider such an exchange and is insisting on the full payment for Hjulmand.
The midfielder has contributed a goal and an assist in his 13 starts in the Primeira Liga for Sporting.
