Juventus Considers Sorloth Amidst Market Activity

August 8, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

Atlético Madrid is reportedly willing to consider selling Alexander Sørloth if a bid close to €40 million is received. While this is a significant sum for a 30-year-old striker, the key development is Atlético's openness to negotiations.

Sørloth's profile could be of interest to Juventus due to his specific attributes. Luciano Spalletti is looking to add a physically strong center-forward who can operate in the box, play with his back to goal, and offer a different solution compared to Randal Kolo Muani and other forwards currently in the squad.

The Norwegian striker appears to fit this profile almost perfectly.

The Price Remains the Major Hurdle

The primary issue is financial. The €40 million demanded by Atlético represents an investment that is difficult to reconcile with Juventus's current transfer strategy, especially after deals already completed and considering other necessary market interventions.

Therefore, Juventus might only reconsider their interest in Sørloth under different conditions: a lower price or a more favorable deal structure.

Much will also depend on player departures. Jonathan David remains a player whose future could directly impact subsequent offensive moves, while Nico González's situation could also become significant in any potential discussions with Atlético.
