Juventus considers Alexander Sorloth as a replacement for Vlahovic. Juventus has begun negotiations over Alexander Sorloth after the deal for Vlahovic fell through. The club is ready to offer the Norwegian striker a three-year contract. The potential transfer may also affect the interests of Atlético de Madrid.

Juventus was faced with the urgent need to find a new striker after negotiations to extend Dušan Vlahović's contract were put on hold. The Serbian forward, whose contract expires at the end of June, may leave the Turin club on a free transfer. According to RUSSPAIN, Vlahović has already been offered to Atlético de Madrid, adding further uncertainty to Juventus' squad for next season.

Amidst this uncertainty, the club's management has intensified its search for a replacement. One of the main candidates is Alexander Sørloth. Juventus representatives met with the Norwegian forward's agents in Oslo to discuss a possible transfer. The management believes Sørloth fits the club's requirements well and can strengthen the attacking line.

As an alternative, Juventus is also considering resuming talks with PSG regarding Randal Kolo Muani, who is already familiar with Italian football following his loan spell at Juventus from January to June 2025. However, the primary focus is currently on Sørloth, taking into account his current form and interest from other European clubs.

Atlético de Madrid, who own Sørloth's contract, may consider selling the player if an offer of around 30 million euros is made. Juventus, for their part, is ready to offer the Norwegian a three-year contract with a salary of 4 million euros per year — slightly higher than his current earnings. This move highlights Turin's seriousness and their willingness to invest in strengthening the attack.

The situation surrounding transfers in European football remains tense. Amidst the competition for key players, clubs are forced to respond quickly to changes in the market. Similar personnel changes have recently been discussed in other teams as well: for example, in the article about the decisive survival match between Leganés and Huesca, where the outcome could affect the balance of power in the lower part of the table. More details — in this article.

For reference: Alexander Sørloth is a striker for the Norwegian national team, known for his goal-scoring record in the Spanish league. In recent seasons, he has consistently scored double-digit goals, making him an attractive option for top clubs. With Vlahović’s departure, Juventus is aiming not only to maintain their attacking potential but also to strengthen their domestic and European positions. The decision on Sørloth could become one of the key transfer moves of this summer.
