Newcastle United has entered strongly into the bidding for the signing of Alexander Sorloth, who does not want to continue at Atletico Madrid and wants to move to the Premier League.

The Norwegian forward believes he will not have a leading role this season under the command of Diego Pablo Simeone and is seriously considering a change of scenery.

The situation of Alexander Sorloth at Atletico Madrid

Despite scoring 24 goals with 2 assists in 53 games last season, Alexander Sorloth does not feel like a key piece in the colchonero's scheme. His benching in the league debut against Espanyol, where he played only 10 minutes, confirmed his suspicions: Simeone prioritizes players like Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, or Raspadori in the offensive rotation.

The Norwegian is under contract until 2028, but his stance is firm: he does not want to repeat a season as a secondary option. According to Spanish media, Atletico will only let him go if a proposal close to 35 million euros arrives, and if the board finds a reliable replacement.

Newcastle and Tottenham in the battle for his signing

Newcastle United's interest stems from Eddie Howe's need to strengthen the forward line. The English coach appreciates the aerial game and area domination that the Norwegian offers, qualities that would fit well in the Premier League. Simultaneously, Tottenham also closely monitors his situation, looking for a striker with European experience and immediate performance.

The fact that two Premier League teams want to sign him makes Sorloth one of the most attractive names in this transfer window. Both clubs see in the Norwegian a profile capable of providing goals, physical work, and a style complementary to their current attackers.

For Atletico, Alexander Sorloth's departure poses a complex dilemma. On one hand, his stay would ensure a proven striker with over 20 goals per season; on the other, keeping an unsatisfied player can be a risk in the locker room. The rojiblanca board, led by Enrique Cerezo and Andrea Berta, will have to decide whether to prioritize internal stability or economic benefit.

Meanwhile, Napoli emerges as a third option in Italy, where they seek alternatives for their attacking line. However, all signs point to England as the most likely destination for the 29-year-old forward.

An uncertain future for Sorloth

What seemed like a season of consolidation for the Norwegian has turned into a scenario of uncertainty. His desire to be a protagonist clashes with internal competition at Atletico, and the interest from Newcastle and Tottenham opens up a range of possibilities.

With the transfer market entering its decisive days, the case of Alexander Sorloth has become one of the hottest in Europe. There are only a few days left in the summer transfer window, and everything will be resolved very soon.
