The 2025-26 European season is almost in the books. Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will face off in Saturday's Champions League final after both secured league titles in England and France, respectively, while there was joy for Bayern Munich in Germany and Inter in Italy as both won domestic doubles. Rounding out the 'Big Five' leagues, Barcelona successfully defended their crown in La Liga as Real Madrid tailed off in chaotic circumstances.

Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand has admitted that being linked with a move to Real Madrid is a "great honour" as speculation regarding his future intensifies. The Danish international has emerged as a primary target for the Spanish giants ahead of a significant summer overhaul at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Jose Mourinho has reportedly already identified his first major transfer target in the form of Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand as he prepares for a sensational return to Real Madrid. The Portuguese tactician, who is set to replace the departing Alvaro Arbeloa, is also exploring a backroom shake-up that could see club legend Toni Kroos join his coaching staff.

Leeds United have reignited their pursuit of Sporting CP midfielder Hidemasa Morita as they begin planning for a second consecutive season in the Premier League. The Japan international is reportedly open to a move to Elland Road once the club’s top-flight status is mathematically confirmed, having opted to remain in Portugal last summer.
