Juventus asks Atlético for the price of Sorloth
The Norwegian forward is among the plans of the bianconeri to strengthen the attack in the upcoming month of January.
Alexander Sorloth reappears as a target in the transfer market of Juventus of Turin for the month of January 2027. The Norwegian forward, aged 30, has a contract with Atletico Madrid until 2028 and was close to leaving Spain last summer when the Italian club offered 22 million euros for his transfer.
According to the latest information from Tuttosport, the team managed by Luciano Spalletti keeps the attacker among their options to strengthen a front line that is having trouble scoring. The operation could be reactivated if Atletico agrees to negotiate his departure for an amount less than the 40 million they requested a few months ago.

Juventus of Turin is once again interested in Alexander Sorloth
The Italian team has started the season with offensive difficulties. After their first 10 matches in Serie A, they had accumulated 13 goals, the lowest record among the top ten in the tournament.
The numbers of Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade have not completely convinced either. Both have had a role in Luciano Spalletti's plans, but Juventus continues to miss a forward with greater presence in the box.
In this scenario, Sorloth reappears. The Norwegian already held discussions to join the Italian club during the summer of 2026, but financial differences between the two clubs prevented the agreement from being completed.
At that time, Atletico Madrid demanded around 40 million euros, while Juventus started by offering 22 million. Other amounts were considered later, but no proposal managed to convince the Spanish entity.
Atletico Madrid could consider a departure in January
The sporting situation of Alexander Sorloth may also influence the negotiations. The forward is not enjoying the continuity he hoped for under Diego Simeone, especially after the moves made by the club during the last transfer window.
One of these moves was the addition of Jonathan David, who came from Juventus. The Canadian arrived on loan during the 2026/2027 season, with a purchase option of 25 million euros, increasing competition for minutes in attack.
Sorloth knows Spanish football very well, having stood out with Villarreal before joining Atletico in 2024. The Madrid club paid 32 million euros upfront for his transfer.
During the past season, he scored 20 goals in 54 official matches, including 13 goals in LaLiga. His ability to act as an offensive reference is precisely one of the characteristics that Spalletti's coaching staff is looking for.
Folarin Balogun, Juventus' alternative for January
The Juventus of Turin is also keeping Folarin Balogun, the American forward from AS Monaco, on their agenda. The 25-year-old attacker represents another option to strengthen a position that the club considers a priority.
Reports from Italy even suggest that Atletico could consider a loan for Sorloth, a formula that would reduce the immediate outlay for the Italians. However, there is still no agreement between the parties.
The decision will depend on any talks that may reactivate before the January 2027 transfer window. Juventus will have to choose between their alternatives, and Atletico will determine whether to part with the Norwegian. In the meantime, Alexander Sorloth continues to be one of the names that generates the most interest in Italy to strengthen the attack.
