Okay, Sørloth has been in the heat of Atletico manager Diego Simeone lately, last week the Norwegian international striker responded by heading in a match-winning goal against Alaves, the week before Sørloth saved the point for Atletico with his goal to make it 1-1 against Real Sociedad. Still, everything revolves around the run-up to the World Cup playoffs in the summer, Norway and Solbakken need a Sørloth in 90 minutes match form. Spanish media have also for a long time reported that Atletico are open to Sørloth sales, with the right price and the right replacement in place. We recommend the 30-year-old to look towards Como.
Blekka Fichajes claims Serie A club Como, with Premier League legend Cesc Fabregas at the helm, have shown a strong desire to sign Sørloth and give him a key role in the attack, which must be music to Sørloth’s ears. The Italian club is said to be willing to pay the €35 million demanded by Atletico Madrid.

Como appears to be one of Europe’s most exciting projects at the moment. Last season, the club was promoted to Serie A, after over 20 years without a ticket to the top division, not only managed to avoid relegation with former assistant coach Fabregas as head coach, but had an exceptionally strong season with six straight wins and 48 points, which secured their place in the top division by a good margin. This season, the club has once again taken a giant leap.
On Monday, Como Como sank Lazio with a 0-3 victory, on Saturday Fabregas and the Como players played their way to a wild 6-0 victory against Torino! This could definitely be the club for Sørloth. Fabregas also knows from his many years in the Premier League what attacking weapon a team has with a player like Sørloth at the top. After Saturday’s big win, Como is in 5th place for a Europa League ticket, still in the race for the top-four and Champions League ticket next season. Imagine, this is the club that two seasons ago was down in the second division.
