La Liga
Atlético de Madrid has set a price of 40 million euros to transfer Alexander Sørloth in this final stretch of the summer transfer market, at a direct request from Diego Pablo Simeone. fichajes.net/tag/atletico-de-madrid.html
The departure of the Norwegian forward would allow the red-and-white board to pursue the signing of Dusan Vlahovic, a Serbian striker also sought after by Beşiktaş, once there is salary space freed up in the squad.
Interest from the Turkish League in Alexander Sørloth and the Salary Obstacle
As reported by Matteo Moretto, Atlético de Madrid is seeking financial means to finalize the transfer of the Norwegian attacker to the Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe leads the direct discussions to secure his signing, while Trabzonspor is also closely monitoring the operation.
Despite being open to moving to Turkish football, the forward demands a gross contract of 12 million euros per season to approve the move. This salary figure poses the main obstacle for the buying clubs, as they seek to lower the player's demands before formalizing an offer of 40 million euros at the Metropolitano offices.
The player has not traveled for the preseason tour to South Korea with the rest of the squad and remains training alone in Majadahonda. This decision comes weeks after Juventus halted his transfer due to a restructuring in the club's management.
Dusan Vlahovic is the Chosen Option if the Sale Goes Through
The sports management of Atlético de Madrid is set to accelerate for Dusan Vlahovic only if the sale of the Norwegian international is confirmed. The salary space freed up by the transfer would provide room to structure the economic offer for the Serbian forward, who is now a free agent after his contract with Juventus finished.
Beşiktaş is directly competing for the addition of the Balkan striker and has already engaged with his representatives. However, the chance to play in LaLiga and join the red-and-white project gives Madrid's club an advantage if they make a formal proposal.
Negotiations between Fenerbahçe and the agents of Alexander Sørloth will continue during the second week of August 2026 to try to adjust the striker's wage. If the Turkish club reaches a salary agreement with the Norwegian and pays the 40 million euros, Atlético de Madrid will commence final discussions with Dusan Vlahovic's representatives before the market closes.
