During the World Cup, Alexander Sørltoh was of course asked whether it will be Torino and Juventus or Madrid and Atletico. In June, there had been reports that Juve and Sørloth had a close dialogue and were on their way to a transfer. The answer Sørloth gave about where he travels was: “Madrid”. If you ask Sørloth this week, the answer may be the opposite.
Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti had booked Sørltoh, and made personal contact with the Norwegian striker, but negotiations between the Serie A club and Atletico broke down. Now it is reported from Italy that the Turin club once again sees an opportunity to secure the super striker.

Tuttosport tells about Spalletti’s conversation with Sørloth earlier this summer:
“It was a useful conversation to explain the tactical idea at Juventus, as well as to check Sørloth’s willingness to take on a new challenge in Serie A – a league that is significantly different from La Liga in terms of intensity and tactical principles,” writes the Italian media.
Tuttosport claims Sørloth is still Spallettoi’s first choice to lead Juventus at the top, according to the Italian media, Atletico Madrid are looking at a replacement for Sørloth at Juventus, Nico Gonzalez.

For Alexander Sørloth, it is about securing access to plenty of playing time at the top level, the Norwegian national team needs more than the super reserve Sørloth, as at Diego Simeone’s Atletico. This is good!
