Atletico Madrid hoped to sign one player before the winter transfer window closes, but they could now say goodbye to an important first leader prior to the Deadline of Monday.
Several members of Diego Simeone's team are linked to a departure. Earlier in the week it was reported that Athleti had rejected an offer from West Ham United for Rodrigo de Paul, but now it seems that Alexander Sorloth could leave.
Six months after his arrival from Villarreal for a fee in the region of € 32 million, Athleti is now preparing to move on Sorloth – but for now, only on a temporary basis. According to a report from the Turkish media outlet -fanatik (via Diario AS), Besiktas have taken a step to bring the Norwegian striker a first loan agreement until the end of the season.
Despite the fact that Sorloth has been a vital important player for Los Colchoneros-Hebben this season, eight LA Liga goals (10 in all competitions) have won many points before the side of Simeone-Ze were reportedly agreed to be the 29-year-old too Let it leave for the rest of the campaign.
If this is the case, Besiktas should only reach an agreement on personal conditions to complete the arrival of the Norwegian striker to Istanbul. As part of the deal, they hope to add a permanent purchase clause for the summer.
Since his arrival, Sorloth has been a very important player for Atleti, and he is currently the third-choice striker behind Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez. Taking this into account, and also that Los Colchoneros is fighting for success in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, it would have little or no to organize a departure in this phase of the season.
