The first question I ask myself after reading in El Nacional that Atletico Madrid is moving in the direction of Manchester United flop Antony, who has flourished at Real Betis on loan, is what about Alexander Sørloth?!
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has throughout the season used the Norwegian striker as a kind of super reserve, despite a kind of constant substitute pulse and desire to play more, Alexander Sørloth has delivered goals, a total of 13 of them that place him in 8th place on La Liga’s top scorers list.
Altetico Madrid is out to “as usual” land in 3rd place in La Liga.
As if not a little too little playing time was sufficient proof, Diego Simeone’s idea that Antony would be an ideal attacking partner for Julián Álvarez is yet another sign that Alexander Sorloth is not in the thick of the manager’s attacking plans. like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was at Manchester United, or find a new club that wants him in the starting line-up.
It is not so many days ago that there were reports that Moise Kean, who last summer was almost chosen over Alexander Sørloth, was back on the radar.

Football Insider writes that Antony has no future at Manchester United. His high salary creates problems for any sale. They are said to be willing to send the Brazilian on a new loan and that they know that it has to be compensated in some way. Real Betis want Antony to move on after big games, but with several clubs on the pitch, who may take a larger part of the wage bill, nothing is certain, other than that Manchester United have no intention of seeing him play for the club again.
