Atletico Madrid are set to demand €50 million for Alexander Sorloth amid Newcastle United’s interest in the striker.
According to Fichajes, Newcastle United may have to pay €50 million to get Alexander Sorloth from Atletico Madrid. The Norwegian has been in top form for the Spanish giants since he arrived in 2024, and the Magopiues have kept close tabs on the striker.
Atletico Madrid could decide on Alexander Sorloth’s future if there are reasons for the striker to part ways. The Norwegian has been sensational in terms of his goalscoring record for the Spanish giants since he arrived from Villarreal.
In his first season, he scored 20 goals in La Liga, which proved that Atletico’s decision to invest in him was right. However, there are some doubts over his long-term future, as he’s not yet established himself as a starter under Simeone.
There could be a solution for the striker, as he could ponder a switch back to the Premier League, where he spent a solitary season with Crystal Palace many years ago. The Eagles are part of 11 clubs Sorloth has played for in his career, as Newcastle United could be his twelfth team.
Newcastle United were interested in Sorloth back in the summer, but they chose to sign Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa to strengthen their attack. However, they have retained an interest in the Norwegian striker, as a future move could be on the cards.
Atletico Madrid names Alexander Sorloth’s price
Atletico Madrid are set to demand €50 million to sell Sorloth amid Newcastle United’s interest. The attacker could ponder a switch to the Magpies if his situation at Atletico Madrid does not change, and at the price, the Magpies could get a good enough option to improve their attack.
However, with the arrivals of Woltemade and Wissa, there are significant doubts about whether Eddie Howe would want Sorloth. Only the future can make things clear if the Magpies are genuinely serious about Sorloth, although the €50 million for an attacking target could be a good bet for the short-term future of the club, who are angling to stay in multiple competitions.
