Alexander Sorloth, currently at Villarreal, is just hours away from becoming the new striker for Atletico Madrid. After arriving in the Spanish capital this past Friday, the Norwegian footballer is undergoing a medical examination on Saturday. If everything goes as expected, Sorloth will sign his contract with Atletico Madrid and could join the team on their upcoming trip to Hong Kong, where they will face Kitchee this Wednesday.

According to MARCA, Atletico Madrid is seriously considering including Sorloth on the Asian expedition. Unlike Le Normand, who has been on holiday for three weeks after winning the Eurocup, Sorloth has been training intensively with Villarreal since the start of the preseason. This gives him an advantage as he would arrive in excellent physical shape to join the red and white team. In fact, it is not ruled out that the Norwegian striker could make his debut in Atletico's friendly matches in Asian lands, standing out as the first official signing of the season for Diego Simeone.

32 million plus variables for Sorloth

Sorloth's arrival meets Atletico's need for a high-caliber striker since speculations arose about the possible departures of Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata in May. Although at some point the signing of Artem Dovbyk was considered, especially after Morata's departure and the apparent ease of negotiating with Girona, negotiations with Villarreal proved to be more effective. Ultimately, Atletico agreed with the yellow club to pay 38 million euros for Sorloth, broken down into 32 million fixed and the rest in variables, facilitating the departure of the Villarreal striker.

Sorloth arrives at Atletico Madrid endorsed by an impressive previous season, where he scored 23 goals with Villarreal, coming close to being the top scorer in La Liga. This figure is remarkable, as no Atletico player has reached a similar mark in the last ten seasons. To find a red and white striker with better numbers, one would have to go back to Diego Costa in the 2013-2014 season or even further back to Radamel Falcao.

In summary, Alexander Sorloth's arrival at Atletico represents a strategic and potentially very fruitful addition for the club, which seeks to reinforce its forward line with a proven goal scorer like the Norwegian. If everything goes according to plan, the Norwegian striker will join his new teammates in Hong Kong, marking the beginning of his time as a "colchonero." Undoubtedly, all eyes will be on him as Atletico aims to establish itself as one of the most competitive teams in Europe.
