La Liga
Atlético de Madrid is not wasting any time and is already working on possible replacements for Alexander Sorloth in case his move to English football materializes this summer. Brentford and West Ham have inquired about the Norwegian forward, and Atletico is not ruling out a sale if an offer close to 25 million euros comes in.
Faced with this scenario, Atletico's sports management already has three significant options in mind to strengthen the offensive line: Dusan Vlahovic, Artem Dovbyk, and Giacomo Raspadori.
The 3 candidates to replace Alexander Sorloth
-Dusan Vlahovic: The first on the list is Vlahovic, the current player of Juventus, where he is not in Igor Tudor's plans. The 25-year-old Serbian scored 17 goals last season and could join Atletico on loan. His contract with the Vecchia Signora expires in 2026, opening the door to negotiation if the Italian club decides to expedite his departure.
-Artem Dovbyk: Another sought profile is Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian has not fully adapted at Roma, and his entourage is looking for a loan to LaLiga. He previously shone in Spain with Girona, becoming the league's top scorer, making Simeone view his return to the country positively. His scoring ability and familiarity with the environment could facilitate his immediate integration.
-Giacomo Raspadori: The third name on the list is Giacomo Raspadori. The 25-year-old Italian does not seem to have full confidence from Antonio Conte at Napoli and could seek a change. With a cost near 20 million euros, he is an attractive option for a club seeking versatility and freshness in attack. Raspadori can play both as a second striker and attacking midfielder, fitting well into the Argentine coach's system.
Atletico shaping their new attack
Meanwhile, Sorloth remains a valuable asset for Atletico. His 24 goals in the last campaign showcase his ability, but the club believes that his departure could strengthen various areas of the field. The final decision will depend on the proposals that come from England and how negotiations with these three candidates progress.
With the transfer market still open, Atletico is already outlining their next offensive move.
