Alexander Sørloth could be on his way out of Atlético Madrid.
Newcastle United are already planning for next season and have put the spotlight on Alexander Sorloth as a possible replacement if Alexander Isak leaves the club this summer. In addition, the “Magpies” are also considering the possibility of pairing both strikers if they secure a place in next year’s Champions League, with a view to forming a top-level attacking duo.
AS writes that the uncertainty surrounding Isak’s future has set off movements in the English club’s sporting management, and Sørloth’s name has gained increased weight due to his strong performances in La Liga.

Newcastle isn’t the only one interested
Newcastle believe Sørloth can quickly adapt to the pace of the Premier League and deliver immediate solutions, both as a starter and in rotation. His physical strength, header and presence in the box match the profile manager Eddie Howe is looking for to strengthen the attacking line.
He is not the only one who is interested: other English clubs and Besiktas are also following the situation of the Norwegian international closely. Nevertheless, Newcastle’s ambitions to return to the European elite could be a decisive factor in luring the striker.
At the Metropolitano, they are aware that his contract expires in 2028, but if a convincing offer comes in, a transfer in this window cannot be ruled out.

The experience from the Premier League has not been so good, in 2018 he was signed by Crystal Palace who never quite let him in, it can also play a role in the election that comes soon.
