Juhlmand was instrumental in Sporting Lisbon's titles in the past two campaigns, catching the eye of "The Special One." The 26-year-old Dane joined Sporting in 2023 and has since made 141 appearances and scored 10 goals for the Lisbon-based team. Prior to this, he played for Austrian club Admira Wacker from 2018 to 2021 and Italian club Lecce from 2021 to 2023. Juhlmand has a contract with Sporting until the summer of #2028. The midfield of "Royal Club" needs strengthening after the departures of big names Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in recent seasons. It is expected that Real Madrid will officially introduce Mourinho as their new head coach following their final La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao this weekend.
