Alexander Sorloth is back on Juventus' radar. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Norwegian striker's camp has resumed talks with the Italian club to assess a possible move in the winter transfer window.

The interest is nothing new. Juventus were already keeping tabs on Atletico Madrid's forward last summer, in a deal that had reached an advanced stage before the 2026 World Cup. According to the information published in Italy, Marco Ottolini, the Turin club's sporting director, even travelled to Oslo in June to watch the player closely.

In the end, the move did not materialise. Juventus opted for Woltemade and Atletico brought in Jonathan David, who left the Italian club precisely for Madrid. Now, reports in Italy suggest that the Canadian's presence in the red-and-white squad could make it easier for Sorloth to leave if the situation changes in January.

Situation at Atletico

For now, there is no confirmed exit or any deal close to being done. What the same outlet does point out is that Sorloth is among the options Juventus are considering to strengthen their attack. That list also includes names such as Gianluca Scamacca, Mateo Retegui and Folarin Balogun.

At Atletico, Simeone is still sticking to his pecking order. Despite criticism from part of the fanbase and the fact he has yet to score this season, the coach currently sees him as the squad's second striker, behind Julian Alvarez and ahead of Jonathan David. That was reflected in the minutes split in the game against Barca.

Sorloth joined Atletico in the summer of 2024 from Villarreal for 32 million euros and has a contract until 2028. To date, he has scored 44 goals in 113 matches, although the start of this season has been affected by an injury picked up in pre-season that prevented him from getting going properly.
