The transfer market can result in an unforeseen move at FC Barcelona’s headquarters. According to Matteo Moretto’s section in La Pizarra de Quintana, the Catalan team has formally launched a bid for Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sorloth. The sporting management is trying to protect itself from the uncertainties surrounding Robert Lewandowski, who has to choose whether to take a wage reduction and has attractive offers from outside of Europe.
With a contract that expires in 2028, the Norwegian’s profile is compelling due to his technical resemblance to the Pole and his quick adaptation to Hansi Flick’s plan. The defence at Barcelona is on the verge of undergoing a significant transformation, so this potential arrival is not the only significant change. Personal terms won’t be a barrier because Alessandro Bastoni has already said “yes” to the Blaugrana initiative. The negotiation with Inter, where Hector Fort’s name has become crucial, presents the true problem.
Barcelona pursuing Alexander Sørloth Robert Lewandowski’s replacement
According to Matteo Moretto, the European powerhouses made a move for Alexander Sorloth of Atletico. Lewandowski is a legend at Barcelona, but the seasoned player may leave Europe due to attractive offers. Additionally, the Catalans are preparing for the possibility that the captain of Poland may accept a shortened contract renewal.
The national stage enables clever last-minute manoeuvres regarding benches and exits. The possibility of Marcus Rashford fulfilling his 35 million euro clause at Barcelona has significantly decreased, compelling the team to consider other options. To resist any outside temptation, Atletico Madrid are concentrating their efforts on obtaining Julian Alvarez with a big wage increase.
Inigo Perez is becoming the front-runner for the Villarreal bench, Jagoba Arrasate is closely associated with Rayo Vallecano, and Athletic Club is considering Edin Terzic in light of Andoni Iraola’s adamant decision to pursue his career in the Premier League. Lastly, the coaching merry-go-round is picking up speed.
