Juventus rumour surfaces over Sörloth

Alexander Sörloth, who has drawn attention in Turkey with Trabzonspor, is now the subject of a transfer rumour from Italy. Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe were both interested in the striker last summer, and the Norwegian's next destination has become a talking point.

According to a report by Tuttomercatoweb reporter Niccolò Ceccarini, Juventus want to strengthen their attack during the January transfer window. While Monaco's Folarin Balogun is their first priority, Sörloth is reportedly seen as the strongest alternative. Head coach Luciano Spalletti is said to admire the 30-year-old's physical power and aerial presence.

Sörloth has struggled for form at Atletico Madrid and is reportedly on the bench because Diego Simeone prefers Jonathan David. Juventus management is said to want to take advantage of this situation. The plan reportedly is to bring the player into the squad on a six-month loan valid until the end of the season.

The report also noted that no official offer has been made to Atletico Madrid and that no direct talks between the clubs have begun. Even so, contacts are expected to increase as the winter break approaches. Whether Sörloth will move to Serie A in January is among the questions football fans are keen to answer.
