Juventus are planning a major rebuild of their attacking line after the painful drop in the final phase of the Serie A season. The Turin club unexpectedly said goodbye to the top positions that give a direct ticket to the Champions League.

In the face of this situation, the technical department of Juventus has made initial contacts to complete the signing of national team striker Alexander Sørloth.
Top priority this summer
The tall 30-year-old, who is currently focusing on beating Norway in the World Cup, is a top priority this summer. This particular offensive effort is a direct response to a specific request from coach Luciano Spalletti, who longs for an offensive leader with an impressive header.
Reports from TuttoJuve and Gazzetta dello Sport confirm that Sørloth will look very positively on a change of environment. His dissatisfaction stems from his role as a reserve – a role Diego Pablo Simeone assigned to him in crucial matches.
The Madrid club needs a capital injection, which paves the way for complex negotiations to start in the coming weeks. The next few days will be crucial in determining whether both intentions meet in a historic transition.
Juventus takes the lead in the summer market
Juventus takes the lead in the summer market, determined to put forward an attractive financial proposal to influence the Spaniards’ inflexible attitude. The management aims to speed up the negotiation process immediately to deliver the strong striker to the coaching staff.
The sports management in Turin will have to sell more assets before they can make a significant outlay. Juventus acknowledge that the absence of Champions League revenue dramatically affects the room for manoeuvre in the club’s coffers.
Talks with the Norwegian’s intermediaries aim to secure him the undisputed starting role he longs for in his career.
Atlético wants to sell
Atlético’s management believes that the Scandinavian striker’s market value will generate a significant sum to fund his own summer reinforcements. Juventus are well aware that breaking the opposition from the Madrid club will require extremely precise diplomacy during this month’s negotiations.
Scouting reports strongly recommend starting the financial investment to provide the team with a reliable goalscorer.
The urgent need to reduce labour costs in the Spanish capital is forcing the management of the Metropolitano to carefully consider the offers. The Juventus management is optimistic about how the 30-year-old’s attitude is smoothing the negotiation path considerably.
A lethal striker for Turin
The formidable physical strength and ability to hold on to the ball with his back to goal will provide invaluable solutions for the coach’s reworked system. Juventus will go into June’s weeks focused on meeting the sellers’ financial demands to avoid surprises.
Telephone contacts will increase significantly with the clear goal of bridging the parties’ positions before the international tournament.
Juventus will leverage its global institutional weight to secure the transfer of the most sought-after striker from the Madrid club. The final proposal must convince the Madrid board – and thus witness the official signing of the transfer contract.
The countdown to seeing the deadly Norwegian striker celebrate in a Turin shirt has officially started in the boardrooms.
