Di Marzio: Lecce midfielder in demand with Milan among clubs interested

Another name has emerged in AC Milan’s bid to rebuild the midfield after Sandro Tonali’s departure in Lecce’s Morten Hjulmand, a report claims.

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio on Sky (via MilanNews), Hjulmand is expected to be one of the topical names during the summer transfer window with a number of different sides watching his development.

Milan are admirers of the Dane and they need at least two midfield signings after Tonali’s sale to Newcastle United, but the 23-year-old is also attracting the interest of Roma and teams in the Premier League too.

There are no advanced negotiations yet with any of the clubs mentioned, but he will certainly be a hot name when the window opens in a week.

It was back in January 2021 that Hjulmand left Admira Wacker and signed a four-year contract with Lecce, who were playing in the second tier at the time prior to their promotion back to Serie A.
