Juve reopen Sorloth pursuit as Kolo Muani struggles to impress

Kolo Muani’s underwhelming league debut has prompted Juventus to reassess their attacking options, with Luciano Spalletti openly expressing concern after the match. According to Goal, the Bianconeri have revived their interest in Alexander Sorloth, a player they previously targeted and who had already indicated his willingness to join. Talks stalled earlier in the summer due to Atletico Madrid’s high asking price, as the Spanish club refused to let the Norwegian leave on discounted terms.

Any renewed negotiations may depend on the future of Julian Alvarez, with Atletico monitoring developments and potentially keeping Sorloth should the Argentine depart. Juventus remain alert as the transfer window approaches its final days, aware that late movement could create an opening. The club’s priority is to secure a more reliable focal point up front, and Sorloth has re-emerged as a concrete option as they look to strengthen their attack before the deadline.
