Atlético de Madrid finds itself in a delicate situation in this final stretch of the transfer market. What seemed to be a season of consolidation for Alexander Sorloth, after a significant investment last summer, has turned into a real headache for the club's management and for Diego Simeone.

The Norwegian forward, unhappy with his secondary role, is said to have requested an immediate exit, a situation that sparks an important debate about squad management.

It all erupted in the opening LaLiga match against Espanyol, where Sorloth came off the bench and had only 10 minutes on the field. His late appearance, tasked with rescuing a point with the score against, was seen as a clear sign of distrust from the Argentine coach. This decision, on top of not feeling indispensable the previous season, has been the final straw for the attacker.

Sorloth's disappointment is not just about that one specific substitute appearance but also about being behind Antoine Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, and Giacomo Raspadori in the attacking rotation. Simeone seems to favor other profiles to start matches, leaving the Norwegian with a very secondary role despite his 24 goals last season. Although the numbers were notable, some of those goals came late against unimportant opponents, which has influenced the internal evaluation.

Sorloth will not leave Atlético de Madrid for less than 35 million

According to reports from 'ElDesmarque', Atlético has informed the player that they will only accept an offer of at least 35 million euros and that a reliable striker must be found to cover his departure. In this regard, the club does not want to repeat past mistakes and is hesitant to lose a goal-scorer without having a replacement lined up.

One of the teams on the horizon is Napoli, looking for options to strengthen their attack. Serie A could become an attractive destination for the Norwegian, depending on whether the numbers align and if Atlético manages to secure a replacement before the transfer window closes.

This situation puts the Atlético management in a complex scenario: keeping an unhappy player could be a risk within the team, but letting him go without a replacement would be a dangerous move mid-season. Sorloth, on his part, is not willing to go through another season as “the last option,” and his firm stance reflects his desire to be a key player in a sports project.

The transfer market is entering its decisive days, and Atlético knows it must solve this puzzle as soon as possible. Sorloth was signed to be a focal point in attack, but his disillusionment with Simeone has turned everything upside down. The outcome of this case will significantly shape the immediate future of the club and could restructure the attacking line-up in a matter of days.
