Overview
- Juventus reached a preliminary contract deal with Alexander Sorloth that reportedly runs to 2029 with an option for 2030 and a wage near €4 million a year, and the player has given his approval to join.
- The club is now negotiating a transfer fee with Atlético Madrid and is pursuing parallel talks over Nico González to try to reduce the net cash Juventus would pay for Sorloth.
- Atlético are understood to prefer an auction and are targeting more than €30–35 million for Sorloth, while Juventus aims to close below €30 million if possible using creative structures and the Nico discussions.
- Juventus is working against a tight timeline to complete deals before the World Cup and faces competition from Premier League clubs that could push the price higher or trigger a bidding process.
- Separately, Juventus has reopened its goalkeeper search after the Alisson option stalled, with Guglielmo Vicario reported as the leading target and talks about Emiliano Martínez continuing despite wage and valuation hurdles.
