Fenerbahçe has taken action for Norwegian striker Alexander Sörloth ahead of the mid-season transfer window. Atletico Madrid is asking for around 35 million euros for the star player.
Fenerbahçe, which is competing for the championship in the Süper Lig, has accelerated its efforts to bring a new striker to its squad before the winter transfer season.
Since the beginning of the season, the yellow-navy team has been struggling in the attack line due to Jhon Duran's injury, Youssef En-Nesyri's poor form, and Cenk Tosun's exclusion from the squad, and they have turned their eyes to Alexander Sörloth.
MAIN TARGET CLARIFIED: ALEXANDER SÖRLOTH
According to a report from the Spanish press outlet Fichajes, the Fenerbahçe management has identified its main target for the winter transfer period. The yellow-navy team, which wants to add the Norwegian striker to its squad, is preparing to make official contact with Atletico Madrid. Club president Sadettin Saran expressed his belief that Sörloth is "a player who can make a difference in the team," while it is stated that the player is also open to moving to Istanbul. Sörloth, who has not found enough playing time at Atletico, may see an opportunity to take on a leading role at Fenerbahçe.
OFFER ON THE TABLE IN JANUARY
Fenerbahçe will present its official offer to Atletico Madrid in January when the transfer window opens. Although the Norwegian footballer has a contract until 2028, the Fenerbahçe management is working on a formula that will satisfy both the player and the Spanish club.
ATLETICO MADRID'S DEMAND: 35 MILLION EUROS
The Spanish club will not easily approve Sörloth's departure. Atletico sees the star striker as one of the important pieces of the team. However, it is known that the player is unsettled due to being on the bench. According to the news, the Madrid team will be open to transfer negotiations if an offer of around 35 million euros comes in. Although Fenerbahçe may not reach this figure directly, they are preparing an offer that includes a transfer fee plus performance-based bonuses.
THE TURKEY OPTION IS ATTRACTIVE FOR SÖRLOTH
Sörloth, who is struggling to find playing time at Atletico Madrid, wants to take on a leadership role in a team where he can play more. Therefore, the option of Turkey and Fenerbahçe has become quite attractive for the Norwegian striker. The Fenerbahçe management wants to finalize the transfer before the mid-season break. Fans are very excited about the possibility of Sörloth's name being mentioned again in Kadıköy.
