Everton 'very attentive'

Now they know that Atletico are very fond of Morten Hjulmand, but they are not alone.
According to A Bola, Everton are also 'very attentive' to his situation and are 'keeping an eye on him' this summer. Unlike Atletico Madrid, this interest is very new.
While the Spanish side have been interested since the January transfer window, making an offer almost at the end of that window, Everton's interest is much newer. The newspaper insists no sides have made an offer yet, but the Dane is eyeing Everton.

Unfortunately for him, if it comes down to a straight choice between Everton and Atletico, Hjulmand would prefer to go to Spain.
This is no surprise as Simeone's team can offer Champions League football. Everton will not participate in any European competition after defeats in the final weeks of the season.
In fact, this move by Everton would be a bold move to say the least. Morten Hjulmand has been linked with a move to some of Europe's biggest clubs over the past year.
Last summer it was Juventus, now it's Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid are also reportedly keen. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been named as fans in the Premier League in successive reports.
But A Bola insists they are in the mix and keeping an eye on what is happening with the Sporting midfielder.
