Morten Hjulmand is headed to Atletico Madrid, and the club’s fan token apparently got the memo before the jersey was even printed.
The Danish defensive midfielder completed his transfer on July 11 for a fee of €40 million, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons. He signed a five-year contract running through June 30, 2031. And while the footballing world debated the tactical implications, the $ATM fan token on the Chiliz blockchain quietly ripped 28% higher on the week.
The transfer itself
Hjulmand, 27, arrives from Sporting CP, where he served as captain. He originally joined the Portuguese club in 2023 for €19 million, meaning Atletico is paying roughly double what Sporting invested just a few years ago.
The midfielder described his decision to move to Madrid as an easy one, citing conversations with manager Diego Simeone as a key factor.
