Pmaybe the name Franculino Gluda Dju means nothing to you but a lot has to go wrong for this summer not to be one of the bombs in the form of a super millionaire move. At at the age of 21the other Central Jutland striker is about to break the bank. This summer he already had dizzying offers on the table from some of the biggest teams in Europe, but the owner of the Danish team, Anders Holch Povlsenone of the country’s richest businessmen, decided that this season they were going to enjoy him in Northern Europe and that his value would triple. He was not wrong. The player in Guinea-Bissau with a Portuguese passport has become one of the emotions of the players European League and grows steadily
In Denmark, he scores an average of a goal per game, and if his goals are combined in European competition, he is in the same bracket as Harry Kane (22 goals), Kylian Mbappe (18) and Erling Haaland (18). Franculino grew up in Benfica’s youth academy, where he arrived as a child, but unfathomable that someone let their point slip and ended up going to Denmark two years ago on a free sale. There he has found the perfect environment to flourish. Midtjylland were quick to react and after just over a year with the team, they realized they had a diamond in the rough. They renewed his contract until June 2029so in the fight to secure his services among the top teams in Premier League and Bundesliga (championships that have already moved for the striker), the Danish team gets a good slice of the pie
A powerful, quick player with a very accurate left-footed finish in the box. The Guinean international is ambitious and a few months ago, before he burst into a massive goal-scoring frenzy, he was already warning. “I want more. I want to score more and do even better.” My personal goal for the season is to score 25 goals in all competitionsand if I score even more, it will be a bonus.” He was falling short. Shortly after the start of the season, he already has 18 goals and although it is difficult to fight for the golden boot with Formula 1 players from the Premier League, LaLiga and the Bundesliga, the Midtjylland player is not afraid.

The fact is that at this stage and at this age, his price in the summer market, in the winter, the Danes do not negotiate, can go to a very juicy figure. This year there have been some good signings for players with goals (the example of United says it all with three strikers over £75m). Getting Franculino will create a battle. If a big club needs a striker for years, it’s going to knock. That’s for sure.
