Brighton & ex-Celtic midfielder wanted by Juventus as possible Morten Hjulmand alternative as Sporting CP stand by €80m release clause

Juventus is interested in a Brighton and former Celtic midfield player. Sporting CP’s €80 million release clause as an option to Morten Hjulmand

Sporting wants interested teams to activate Hjulmand’s €80 million (£68 million/$92 million) release clause in order to sign him because they don’t want to lose another top player following Viktor Gyokeres’ exit. As the transfer season enters its final weeks, Juventus, the team with the greatest interest in signing the Denmark captain, is beginning to lose faith. Gazzetta dello Sport claims that after missing out on acquiring Brighton’s O’Riley last year, the Serie A team has rekindled their interest in him. After an outstanding stint in Scotland, the Denmark international was bought by the Seagulls in 2024 for €29.5 million (£26 million/$34 million) from Celtic. O’Riley’s English League debut was difficult, as he played 21

games in which he contributed three assists and two goals. The Dane midfielder is being pursued by Juventus, but Brighton would rather give O’Riley another season to establish himself. The 24-year-old’s arrival, according to the Italian team, will give them the much-needed talent they require following the catastrophic period that followed Douglas Luiz’s transfer. Hjulmand is Juventus’ top target, but they must first let go of Luiz in order to meet the 26-year-old’s release clause. Many English clubs are currently showing interest in the Brazilian, and West Ham and Nottingham Forest are keeping a careful eye on him. His attempt to push a move, which involved skipping training, has also damaged his connection with the team, and it appears that he will go in the summer.
Timothy Weah, an American striker, is also awaiting approval from Juventus to make his much anticipated move to Marseille. In order to pay for their move for Randal Kolo Muani, who has also been waiting for his desired return to Juventus, the Italian team may try to sell the striker. On August 10, Igor Tudor’s team will play Borussia Dortmund in their second preseason friendly.
