FC Midtjylland close to signing Magnus Jensen
FC Midtjylland are close to signing Magnus Jensen. According to Der Nordschleswiger, the parties have agreed on a three-year deal, but Sønderjyske are demanding between 11.25 and 15 million DKK for their defensive player. FC Midtjylland initially bid 5.5 million DKK for the 29-year-old, who has a contract with Sønderjyske until the summer of 2029.
What's happening with the transfer?
Sønderjyske no longer have Magnus Jensen as captain, as he is pushing for a move to FC Midtjylland. The clubs are still some way apart in negotiations. FC Midtjylland, who are 2nd in the Superliga with 6 points after two wins, want to get Jensen on board before their next match against Lyngby on August 16.
Why is Jensen important for FCM?
Magnus Jensen is an experienced defensive player who can strengthen FC Midtjylland's backline. He joined Sønderjyske from Lyngby Boldklub a year ago and has proven himself as a solid player. FC Midtjylland are in need of defenders, as Júnior Brumado, Mikel Gogorza, Ousmane Diao and Victor Bak Jensen are injured.
What happens next?
Time will tell if the parties can reach an agreement. If they can't, Jensen will continue at Sønderjyske, where he has a contract until the summer of 2029. FC Midtjylland hope to get him in the club to strengthen their defense in the coming season.
