Atletico Madrid offer swap deal for Vlahovic

According to reports from Fichajes, Atlético Madrid are exploring a surprising move with Juventus. The Spanish club could propose a striker swap involving Alexander Sorloth and Dusan Vlahovic.

Atlético’s start to the season has been disappointing, largely due to a lack of goals. Much of the criticism has fallen on Sorloth, who has failed to deliver what fans expected. The Norwegian forward arrived with big hopes after a strong campaign last year, but he has scored only once in six official games.

Supporters, who were optimistic about his 20-goal record from the previous season, have turned impatient. The forward was supposed to be the new attacking leader, yet his performances have dropped significantly. His lack of confidence is evident on the pitch, and frustration seems to have taken over.

Inside the club, discussions are already underway about his possible departure during the winter transfer window. Atlético’s management is aware that changes are needed if they want to stay competitive in LaLiga and Europe.

A potential exchange: Sorloth for Vlahovic

According to Fichajes, Juventus have shown interest in Sorloth’s profile. The Italian club values his physical strength, aerial presence, and international experience. For their part, Atlético see Dusan Vlahovic as an ideal solution to their scoring problems.

The idea gaining momentum is a direct exchange — Sorloth heading to Turin and Vlahovic arriving in Madrid. However, Juventus would demand financial compensation as part of the operation. Atlético, aware of the Serbian’s quality, are reportedly willing to include money to make the deal happen.

Vlahovic has long been admired by the Madrid club. Since his breakthrough at Fiorentina, he has been seen as a natural fit for Diego Simeone’s system. His finishing ability and power inside the box could give Atlético the edge they have been missing.

At the same time, Juventus are open to reshaping their attack. The Turin club might consider a swap deal to refresh their squad and relieve their wage bill.

For Atlético, this could be a turning point. Either Sorloth recovers his form and confidence in the coming weeks, or the club moves decisively for Vlahovic in January.

The next few matches will be crucial in determining the Norwegian’s future. What’s clear is that Atlético Madrid are under pressure to act fast — and the potential deal with Juventus could be the spark their season desperately needs.
