Not Alvarez – Barcelona enquire about another Atletico Madrid forward with €35m release clause In a major development, journalist Matteo Moretto (via Mundo Deportivo ) reports that FC Barcelona have made an enquiry for Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth. It is no secret that the Blaugrana are keeping a close eye on the striker market as they look to strengthen their squad with a top forward in case Robert Lewandowski leaves. Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez is seen as the top target .
In addition to that, the La Liga leaders are also open to the idea of bringing in another attacker who can guarantee goals, either as a backup or even as a starter if he earns it through performance. Alexander Sorloth enters the fray In that context, a familiar name has emerged as an option for Barça: Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian forward, who will play his first World Cup in June, is under contract until 2028 and has a €35 million release clause at Atletico, where he is not a regular starter but still gets quality minutes.

Sorloth is a striker who is quick for his size, strong in the air, and has a powerful left-footed shot. He is also a team player who could accept a secondary role. The 30-year-old striker has 17 goals and one assist from 47 matches across all competitions for Atletico Madrid this season.
