Juventus has reached a personal agreement with Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth and is preparing to submit a fresh bid to Atletico Madrid. The deal represents Juventus’ most concrete move yet to replace Dusan Vlahović, whose contract has expired, leaving a significant hole in the club’s attacking lineup.
The proposed contract runs through 2029 or 2030, spanning four years, with an annual salary of approximately €4 million net plus bonuses. For a player who bagged 20 goals last season while mostly coming off the bench at Atletico, that’s a fairly reasonable price tag on the wage front.
The gap between buyer and seller
Atletico Madrid is reportedly holding firm at around €35 million for the transfer fee. Juventus wants to bring that number down to €30 million or lower.
One interesting wrinkle in the negotiations involves midfielder Nico González, who could potentially be included as part of a swap arrangement. If González heads in the opposite direction, it could bridge the valuation gap without either side technically budging on their headline number.
