It has been claimed that Galatasaray has stepped back regarding Alexander Sörloth, who was on their agenda for a striker transfer. According to Milliyet's report, the yellow-reds have shelved the transfer of the Norwegian striker, who plays for Atletico Madrid. Sörloth's demands and Atletico Madrid's requested 40 million euro transfer fee made the transfer difficult.

Galatasaray, who continue their efforts to reinforce the forward line, have made a new development regarding Alexander Sörloth, who was among their candidates. The yellow-red management has shelved the transfer of the 30-year-old Norwegian striker.

SÖRLOTH'S DEMANDS REVEALED

Sörloth demanded a guaranteed starting spot, a double-digit salary, and goal bonuses from Galatasaray.

Following these conditions, Galatasaray stepped back from the Sörloth transfer.
