Villarreal will not sell Alexander Sorloth to Atlético Madrid until they find a suitable replacement for their center-forward position, according to Football España. This is the main obstacle keeping the transfer of the Norwegian attacker to the Madrid team on hold, despite both sides being close to an agreement.

Atlético Madrid is interested in Sorloth as a replacement for Álvaro Morata, seeing him as the goal scorer they need for the upcoming season. Sorloth, who finished second in the Pichichi race, is a coveted asset in the market. The 28-year-old Norwegian has a release clause of 38 million euros, although Atlético is negotiating a figure close to 35 million euros.

Villarreal seeks a substitute for Sorloth

The interest in Sorloth is not exclusive to Atlético. Teams like Roma, West Ham, and Al-Qadsiah have also shown interest in the striker, but all signs point to the Metropolitano as the most likely destination for the player. However, Villarreal has made it clear that they will not let go of their top scorer until they secure an adequate replacement, putting the negotiations on hold for now.

Last season, Sorloth impressed with 26 goals, particularly shining in the latter part of the campaign. This performance has raised high expectations among Atlético fans, hoping he can replicate his goal-scoring form in the Spanish capital. Nevertheless, there is also caution, as Morata, the forward he would replace, had a solid season with only five goals less than Sorloth.

Villarreal, known as the Yellow Submarine, is in a delicate situation, aiming to secure a quality striker before letting go of Sorloth. The club's priority is to maintain competitiveness in LaLiga and European competitions, making the replacement of their star forward crucial for their aspirations.
