Alexander Sorloth from Villarreal is one of the names on the table for potential transfers to Atl. Madrid.
Atletico Madrid is interested in Alexander Sørloth, who has been the top scorer in the Liga this season with 23 goals. The club is looking to strengthen its attack due to the probable departures of Memphis Depay, Joao Félix and potentially Alvaro Morata. Sørloth has a release clause of 38 million euros, but Atletico Madrid is not willing to pay that much. According to Marca, they would like to reduce the player's price to an estimated amount between 30 and 35 million euros.
With eight goals scored in the last five matches, clubs interested in the Norwegian are increasing and the player's termination clause could make him an appealing target. Marca reveals that, in the next summer market, this termination clause is 38 million euros, a value that will increase to 40 at the end of this transfer period. The player's contract with the yellow submarine is valid until 2028. However, the Spanish newspaper recalls that, upon arriving at Villarreal last year, Sorloth had stated that he was looking for "stability" for his career, this after having represented five badges in the previous five years (Crystal Palace, Gent, Trabzonspor, RB Leipzig and Real Sociedad). On the other hand, Marcelino Toral, Villarreal's coach, admits that Sorloth will be the target of considerable interest this summer, as he said after the game with Real Madrid: "If an offer comes and there is a good agreement for everyone, it will be good for him. That doesn't worry me. I'll be happy for him if he continues to improve."
To replace them, the Madrid leaders plan to raid the Liga. In fact, Liga top scorer with 23 goals, Alexander Sorloth is targeted. Pichichi of the season so far and author of a quadruple against Real Madrid this weekend, the Norwegian giant has taken a real step since Marcelino's arrival on the bench of Villarreal.
Alexander Sorloth, Villarreal's top scorer, was also mentioned by the club's president in the context of potential transfers. However, it was not specified which club or clubs might be interested in Sorloth. The president stated that the future will depend on the offers they receive for Sorloth.
