Newcastle United remain interested in signing Alexander Sorloth, but they have still not made a formal approach for his signature, and that could soon prove costly for them.
The Norwegian remains on the books of Atletico Madrid, where he has been one of the top strikers in Europe over the last few seasons and is expected to continue performing well.
However, Sorloth would love a new challenge and has been waiting for Newcastle United to get serious about adding him to their squad, but that has not happened so far.
Juventus Could Hijack Sorloth Move
The Magpies could now lose him to Juventus, as Calciomercato reports that they are willing to swap the striker for Nicolas Gonzalez, a player Atletico Madrid want to sign this summer.
A move for Sorloth could happen soon, as Juventus want another striker. If they become serious about signing him, Newcastle could miss out on adding a very experienced attacker to their squad.
The potential swap would allow Juventus to strengthen their attack while also helping Atletico Madrid pursue Gonzalez. For Newcastle, however, it would represent another missed opportunity in a transfer window where they have already faced difficulties.
Newcastle Must Act Quickly
The deal has not yet been agreed, and the Magpies still have time to decide whether to go all in on the striker. However, they risk missing out on adding him to their squad if they continue to delay making an approach.
Sorloth would bring experience and quality to Newcastle’s attack, making him an attractive option as they look to strengthen their squad. His situation at Atletico Madrid could now become increasingly important if Juventus decide to pursue the proposed swap.
Newcastle appear to have many problems to solve after losing several of their key players during the final weeks of this transfer window. Adding Sorloth could help address their attacking needs, but they may have to move quickly to prevent Juventus from completing a deal first.
For now, the Norwegian remains available, but Newcastle’s continued lack of a formal approach could allow Juventus to secure his signature. The Magpies must decide soon whether Sorloth is a priority, or risk watching him move elsewhere.
