In a bold attempt to strengthen the team's midfield, FC Barcelona have intensified their efforts to sign Sporting Portugal midfielder, Morten Heulmand. The 24-year-old Danish player is attracting the attention of Barcelona's Brazilian sporting director Deco.
Barcelona are looking to strengthen their midfield, which suffered from the departure of Sergio Busquets last summer, leaving a void that will be difficult to fill. Although Everton's Amadou Onana was recently identified as the club's top target, a report from Tipsbladet reveals a growing interest in Hjolmand.
Upon arriving at Sporting Portugal last summer, Heulmand quickly established himself as a key player in Ruben Amorim's plans, making 35 competitive appearances and registering two goals and four assists so far. The information provided by Tipsbladet is confirmed by the statements of Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, who claims that “Barcelona is interested in him.” Tottenham also reportedly showed interest in the player, but he has since lost interest. Hjulmand trained at FC Copenhagen, and also played for Admira Faker and Lecce before joining Sporting Portugal, where he distinguished himself at the top of the Portuguese league. In addition, he was recently called up to the Danish senior national team, where he has made three appearances so far.
