Everton, under the leadership of the experienced David Moyes, are looking for a quality boost in their squad. The Scottish manager believes it is absolutely necessary to bring in a dominant goalscorer to ensure qualification for European competition next season. At the same time, Atlético Madrid are facing a major rebuild at the top after Antoine Griezmann has confirmed that he is leaving the club.
Sørloth is considering a change of club
The 30-year-old Norwegian, who has a contract until 2028, is now considering a change of football environment. Despite scoring 20 goals in 53 games, he longs for a project where he can be the indisputable offensive reference.
Information from Matteo Moretto in Radio MARCA confirms that Everton have already made contact with Atlético Madrid. Although Sørloth does not immediately view the proposal with great enthusiasm, the discussions are still wide open in the international market. Atlético Madrid have priced him at just €30 million – with a clear goal of easing the wage budget immediately.
At the same time, Italian clubs such as AC Milan and Como 1900 are also following the situation closely. The player will wait until the international championship is over before making a final decision about his future.
Everton must convince Sørloth
Everton face the difficult task of convincing a player who prioritizes the absolute top level of his career in Europe. Everton’s sporting management is looking for a classic striker to solve the troubling finishing problems the team has been having.
The ambitious plan of David Moyes and Everton’s bid for Sørloth is clear. The board of directors of the English club plans to pay the requested amount immediately. Everton believe that the attractive proposal to lead a new Premier League project will tempt the sought-after Scandinavian striker. The club’s scouts have provided excellent reports that support the investment in a player who fits the British direct style of play.
Atlético does not put obstacles in the way
The sporting management of Madrid will not put unnecessary obstacles in the way of a sale if the player formally asks to leave the club. Everton know very well that Atlético Madrid need money to sign a new world-class striker. Diego Pablo Simeone demands a ruthless goalscorer – on the same street as Radamel Falcao or Uruguayan Luis Suárez.
For Sørloth, the opportunity to return to British football represents a very attractive sporting revenge. Everton will speed up contact with the player’s agents before the World Cup is over and possibly increase his value further. The offered 30 million fits perfectly within the financial framework the club has set itself.
A new leader at the top for Everton
The impressive physique and remarkable headplay of the Norwegian striker give the coaching staff several player variants to choose from. Everton are approaching the summer transfer window knowing that goals cost money – often a lot of money. The coming weeks in June will be crucial to see if both clubs can come to an agreement.
The loyal Everton supporters are eagerly awaiting the outcome of a case that promises to characterize this summer’s transfer market. Everton will test their financial muscle, determined to give David Moyes the tools he needs to compete at the highest level. It remains to be seen whether the perseverance from the English club will finally convince the Norwegian sharpshooter.
