Alexander Sorloth, the forward currently with Atletico Madrid, has been linked with a potential move to Juventus, though the player remained tight-lipped on the speculation following Norway’s recent World Cup victory over Senegal.
Sorloth was instrumental in Norway’s 3-2 win, securing their progression to the next stage of the tournament. After the match, he spoke about the intensity of the game and the team’s confidence, stating they are a “really strong” side, despite external expectations. He also highlighted the quality of the Senegalese opposition, acknowledging a difficult contest.
Beyond the on-field success, Sorloth’s post-match interview was dominated by questions regarding his club future. When pressed about interest from Juventus, the 28-year-old offered a curt “No comment” when asked directly about the Italian club and the possibility of playing in Serie A next season. He repeated the response when further questioned, refusing to elaborate on any potential negotiations.
Sorloth joined Atletico Madrid in 2022, initially on loan from RB Leipzig, before making the move permanent. He has become a valuable squad player for Diego Simeone, contributing goals and providing a physical presence in attack. However, his game time has been somewhat limited, leading to speculation about a possible departure.
Juventus have been actively seeking attacking reinforcements, and Sorloth’s profile – a tall, strong forward with a proven goalscoring record – fits their requirements. According to Tuttosport, the Turin club have been monitoring Sorloth’s situation for some time and are waiting for an opportunity to initiate talks with Atletico Madrid. The potential transfer could depend on a number of factors, including Atletico’s willingness to sell and Sorloth’s own desire to move to Italy.
For now, Sorloth remains focused on representing Norway at the World Cup, enjoying the enthusiastic support of the Norwegian fans, particularly their viral “Viking Road” celebration. The future of his club career will likely become clearer after the tournament concludes.
