adminNewcastle United’s pursuit of Atletico Madrid Attacker depends on what happens with Julián Álvarez at Atletico Madrid, with the Magpies closely monitoring the situation before making a move for the world class player.
Newcastle are eager to strengthen their attack and have identified Sørloth as a key target after the 30-year-old registered 21 goal contributions during another impressive La Liga campaign.
The striker has become an important part of Atletico Madrid’s attack, but his future could be uncertain if the Spanish club reshapes its squad this summer.
Álvarez has attracted interest from several top European clubs, and any decision regarding his future could influence Atletico’s willingness to negotiate Sørloth’s departure. The club is unlikely to allow multiple attacking players to leave in the same transfer window.
According to Football Insider, if Álvarez stays at Atletico Madrid, the club may be reluctant to sell Sørloth. However, if the Argentine forward departs, Atletico could become more open to offers for the Norwegian international.
Sørloth Could Be an Ideal Addition
Newcastle see Sørloth as a striker who can add a strong physical presence and aerial threat to Eddie Howe’s attack. Standing at 6ft 4in, the Norwegian offers qualities that could give Newcastle a different tactical option in the final third.
His previous experience in the Premier League with Crystal Palace could also help him settle quickly if he returns to England.
Newcastle are expected to continue assessing the market before committing to a major attacking signing, with Sørloth’s availability largely dependent on Álvarez’s future. After an underwhelming 2025/26 campaign, improving the team’s attacking quality remains one of the club’s top priorities before the transfer window closes.
