Overview
- Juventus have reached an agreement in principle on personal terms with Alexander Sørloth, with reports on Sunday saying the club offered a multi‑year deal worth about €4m per season.
- The transfer is not complete because Atlético Madrid are holding out for more than €30m while Juventus are reported unwilling to pay above €30m, leaving club‑to‑club talks unresolved.
- Atlético’s parallel negotiations to sign Nico González permanently are tied to the calculus of selling Sørloth and are adding pressure to the fee discussions.
- As a backup plan, Juventus are pursuing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint‑Germain, who is valued at roughly €40m and could become the primary target if the Sørloth fee cannot be agreed.
- The move answers immediate team needs caused by Vlahović’s confirmed departure at the end of June and creates timing risk because Atlético may wait for the World Cup to boost player value, which could raise costs for Juventus.
