Manchester City are reportedly eyeing Morten Hjulmand for their midfield after a serious injury to Rodri, in what could apparently be a blow to Manchester United and Arsenal.
Rodri has been the subject of Ballon d Or shouts of late, such has been his proficiency in City s midfield. The Spanish midfielder is personally unbeaten in the last 52 games, and that is set to continue, but not in the way he d hope.
Indeed, the star midfielder received a ligament injury in the recent draw against Arsenal, which some outlets have suggested will put him out for the season. City state he has gone to Spain for a special consultation to determine the severity of the injury, which should be a few months out either way.
As a result, the Citizens are eyeing midfield reinforcements to soften the blow, and Sporting CP captain Hjulmand is looking like being one of the main options considered .
While he has a release clause of approximately £63million, the report states the Danish midfielder is valued closer to £50million by the likes of City, United and Arsenal.
Indeed, the latter pair have been linked with Hjulmand of late, and interest from Pep Guardiola s side could reportedly end up being a blow to them.
Hjulmand is said to have expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, so if one of the English sides can agree a fee with Sporting, it does not seem personal terms will be an issue.
