Atlético de Madrid offers Alexander Sørloth

With Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata no longer at the club, Atlético Madrid has been researching the striker market for several weeks. Long targeted, but failing to reach an agreement with the Colchoneros, the top scorer of La Liga 2023/2024 Artem Dovbyk finally went to Roma. A backup track was then activated, and it led to the Norwegian striker of Villarreal, Alexander Sørloth. This Saturday, the 28-year-old player officially joined the Madrid club.

“Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal have reached an agreement for the transfer of Alexander Sørloth, who signs for our club for the next four seasons. The 28-year-old Norwegian, a full international for his country, is a striker with great physical power thanks to his height of 195 cm.“, said the statement from Atlético de Madrid. Last season, Sørloth scored 23 goals and provided 6 assists in 34 La Liga matches.
