Transfer duel with Eintracht Frankfurt over Morten Hjulmand from US Lecce?

US Lecce’s Morten Hjulmand has apparently attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt. As the Gazzetta dello Sport reported, the two Bundesliga clubs are hot for the 23-year-old.

Sticking point: According to the report, Lecce expects a transfer fee of around 20 million euros for his midfielder, which could be too expensive, especially for Eintracht. Hjulmand’s contract with the Serie A club runs until 2024.

The Dane is one of the absolute top performers at Lecce and leads the team onto the field as captain. He is seen as a true worker and leader, attributes that some clubs have called to the fore.

Hjulmand joined Lecce from Admira Wacker in January 2021 and helped the club climb to Serie A last season with three goals and seven assists.
