April 2026

Barcelona have reportedly opened contact over Alexander Sorloth as they prepare for life after Robert Lewandowski. The Norwegian striker is viewed as a more affordable and proven La Liga option than several other names on the market. Hansi Flick wants a physical forward who can play with his back to goal, and Sorloth fits that profile. Atletico could consider a sale if they need funds, with a fee in the €25 million to €30 million range reportedly enough to start serious talks.
