AC Milan Close to Verbal Agreement with Atletico Madrid Striker Alexander Sorloth
AC Milan is nearing a verbal agreement with Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth for a summer transfer, according to recent reports from Italian sports media. The Norwegian international has signaled his willingness to join the Rossoneri, paving the way for negotiations between the clubs.
Reports indicate that Sorloth has given his approval for a potential move to Milan, with the club preparing to create an initial offer of €20 million to Atletico Madrid. The Rossoneri aim to finalize the deal before the upcoming FIFA World Cup to avoid potential price increases following the striker’s strong performances in European competition.
Sorloth, 26, has been a key contributor for Atletico Madrid this season, helping the club reach the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. His goal-scoring ability and physical presence have made him a priority target for Milan as they seek to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The development comes as Milan also pursues Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who is available on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract. Both players have reportedly expressed interest in joining the Rossoneri, with Goretzka asking to delay finalizing talks until the end of the current season.
Club-to-club discussions between Milan and Atletico Madrid are expected to begin in the coming weeks, focusing on Sorloth’s transfer. Milan’s sporting leadership views the Norwegian as a crucial addition to bolster squad depth and competitiveness for their anticipated return to the Champions League.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Milan’s pursuit of Sorloth represents a significant step in their rebuilding efforts. The club aims to secure the striker’s services early to provide stability and attacking threat for the upcoming campaign.
