If Sofyan Amrabat were to leave, Fiorentina would be ready to target Lecce’s Morten Hjulmand. The most obvious obstacle, to date, is the price
The Danish born ’99, bought by Corvino for just €170,000, now costs over €20 million. Milan and some foreign clubs are also interested in him. But the team most interested is the one led by Italiano: the coach has asked the ownership to please him by taking the midfielder from Lecce.
Pantaleo Corvino, Lecce’s sporting director, spoke live to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPlay channel, to talk about the possible deal with the Viola.
Pantaleo Corvino, ds of Lecce, does not hide: he admits that the rumours associating the young Hjulmand with Fiorentina are true. ‘I would be surprised if Hjulmand was not among the targets of many teams, including Fiorentina. I cannot deny the many calls I have received for Morten. “
“There are contacts for Hjulmand, Baschirotto and Strefezza,” continued the Salento team’s sporting director. “They are players who have made an impact and it is normal that there are contacts for them from important clubs.”
“We have remained in harmony and on good terms with Baroni. Now we start a new cycle with D’Aversa,’ the interviewee continued about the change in the team’s technical leadership. “It will be an almost unrepeatable feat that we did, but we have to try again. “
Morten Hjulmand likes Fiorentina: “We have received many calls “
Hjulmand
The Viola’s market strategy therefore depends on Sofyan Amrabat, who is currently in the orbit of Atletico Madrid (although he has confessed in the past to wanting a move to Barcelona). Only by selling the Moroccan could Fiorentina really aim to buy Morten Hjulmand, the Lecce captain.
The Dane has been playing with the Salentini since January 2021 when he was bought for pennies. He made his debut with the Giallorossi eight days after it was made official, coming on in the second half of the league game drawn at home against Empoli. He quickly established himself as a pillar of the team. And the following year he contributed to the team’s promotion. Last season, his first in the A league, he was named captain.
‘To find oneself without a coach, goalkeeper and centre forward at the end of the season, despite the nest egg set aside with Falcone and Colombo, is certainly not easy,’ continued the Lecce director. “We also lack a centre forward. Many names are being mentioned for the goal and Sepe is one of those being followed. The Salentini’s first official purchase is Croatian central defender Marin Pongračić.
