La Liga
The situation of Alexander Sorloth at Atlético de Madrid is once again raising concerns weeks before the winter transfer market. The Norwegian forward has decided to look for a new destination to regain prominence and secure his presence in the upcoming World Cup.
His secondary role under Diego Pablo Simeone's command has hastened a scenario that was already anticipated since the previous season, when the striker also failed to become a fixed piece of the team.
Alexander Sorloth and his decision to leave
Alexander Sorloth has been evaluating his role at Atlético de Madrid for weeks. This season, he has participated in 14 matches and has scored just two goals, figures that show his lack of continuity. The Norwegian, a starter in only six games, understands that time is of the essence and that his national team needs a forward in competitive form. That's why he is seeking an immediate exit that allows him to play 90 minutes consistently. His goal, as confirmed by close sources, is to arrive at the World Cup in optimal conditions.
The footballer maintains that his situation has not changed from the previous season. Julián Álvarez has established himself as the offensive reference of the team, and although Simeone has tried to combine them at times, the formula has not been stable. Alexander Sorloth believes that his role does not align with his aspirations and he understands that the winter transfer market represents a unique opportunity to rediscover his best form.

Atlético de Madrid: a scenario without minutes
At Atlético de Madrid, they acknowledge that the striker's unease is not new. The 620 minutes accumulated this season explain the player's lack of confidence. His circle admits that the forward feels ready to take on more responsibilities, but the club's current scheme does not seem to allow it. Internal competition, combined with the good form of other players, has significantly limited his room for action.
Information revealed by journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu confirms that Alexander Sorloth has already communicated his intention to leave the team in January. His decision is based on a sporting need rather than a contractual one. The Norwegian wants to regain his specific role in a project that values him and sees it as essential to leave in order not to jeopardize his contribution to the Norwegian national team.
Alternatives for the Norwegian forward
Options for the forward are starting to emerge. Fenerbahçe is preparing a new attempt to sign him, convinced that he can regain his best form in the Turkish league. They had shown interest in previous weeks, but the circumstances now favor a firmer approach. The Turkish club considers Alexander Sorloth a strategic reinforcement for their attacking line, and his availability in January makes him a very attractive prospect.
Other mid-to-high-profile clubs in Europe have also inquired about his situation. Alexander Sorloth wants sporting guarantees and an environment where he can be a regular starter without conditions. His priority is not financial but to regain his role as a decisive goal scorer.
An expected conclusion for Alexander Sorloth
Everything indicates that the Norwegian's cycle at Atlético de Madrid is close to ending. His determination, reinforced by the need to compete at the highest level before the World Cup, sets a clear roadmap for the coming weeks.
If nothing changes, Alexander Sorloth will seek a new club that allows him to regain continuity and establish himself as a key figure in his national team. The decision has been made, and the winter transfer market will mark the beginning of a new stage in his career, one that he deems essential to sustain his competitive growth.
