Alexander Sorloth has been close to a move to Newcastle United since the club sold Alexander Isak, and they have now reignited their interest in the striker this summer. The Magpies are looking for attacking reinforcements, and Sorloth has emerged as a potential solution to their current needs.
Sorloth is now one of the most important footballers at Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish side are pleased with his contributions to their success. However, he is not considered untouchable, meaning the club could still be willing to listen to offers for the striker.
Newcastle United Target Sorloth
Over the last few seasons, Sorloth has remained consistent and shown that he is one of the top players in the Atletico Madrid squad. The club have therefore had no reason to push him towards the exit, particularly given his importance to their team.
Atletico have also been active in the transfer market this summer and will aim to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga this term. However, they could still make some sales, and Sorloth may be one of the players they decide to cash in on.
As reported by Sporten, Newcastle want to sign Sorloth this summer. The Magpies have not fully recovered from the sale of Isak, while their current squad lacks an experienced striker who can provide a reliable attacking option.
Magpies Seek Attacking Reinforcement
Newcastle now want to bring Sorloth into their squad as they attempt to address that weakness. His experience and performances at Atletico make him an attractive target, particularly for a team that clearly needs further reinforcements.
The Magpies could therefore be prepared to meet Atletico’s demands for the striker. However, the Spanish side will have to decide whether the financial return would be sufficient to justify losing one of their important attacking players.
For Newcastle, signing Sorloth would provide them with an experienced forward who could help strengthen an attack that has been affected by Isak’s departure. The Norwegian could also bring greater depth and quality to their squad as they look to improve their options.
Much will now depend on whether Newcastle are prepared to pay what Atletico want for Sorloth. If they can reach an agreement, the striker could become an important addition to a squad that is still looking for greater strength in attack.
