I have to say I’m a bit puzzled as to why Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone chooses to build his attack around Julián Álvarez and lets Alexander Sørloth, who proves time and time again, he is one of the world’s best strikers, act as a super reserve.
Well, now the Norwegian striker, who scores more often than anyone else in La Liga, has been given a price tag.
Todofichajes writes that several Premier League clubs are keeping an eye on Alexander Sørloth and more importantly from a Norwegian point of view, they are working intensively for a transfer to Besiktas. – The Turkish club is led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has extensive experience of being a super reserve from his time at Manchester United.

Newcastle see Alexander Sorloth as a possible replacement for Alexander Isak who they probably “must” sell.
Alexander Sørloth has caused a stir at a number of clubs around the world after a strong season at Atlético Madrid.
Alexander Sorloth has left an indelible mark in his first season with Atlético Madrid. The Norwegian striker, despite not being a regular in the starting line-up under Diego Simeone’s leadership, has shown lethal efficiency in front of the opponent’s goal. With decisive performances and an exceptional goal factor, the striker has won recognition from both Atlético supporters and observers across Europe.
Sørloth could leave Atlético Madrid
The Norwegian striker has had a very successful season with 17 goals in La Liga and another 4 goals in the Copa del Rey. (Is in 4th place on La Liga’s top scorers list) His average of one goal per 82nd minute in the Spanish league speaks for itself, making his season one of the most prolific among the tournament’s attacking players. Sorloth has not only delivered impressive stats, but has also shown the ability to rise in crucial moments and delivered key attacking solutions from the bench.
This goal has not gone unnoticed in the transfer market. Several clubs internationally have begun to show serious interest in the player’s situation, knowing that his profile suits several different styles of play. Atlético’s sporting management appreciates his achievements, but at the same time understands that a significant financial opportunity could arise. Therefore, the club has set an indicative price: offers below 50 million euros will not be considered.
Given this scenario, it will be crucial to monitor developments during the summer. Sørloth has proven his ability to perform at the top level in a demanding league like the Spanish one, and it will not be surprising if more clubs start working to persuade him to a new sporting project.
