Alexander Sorloth could once again become a serious option for Juventus if Nicolas Jackson completes his potential move from Chelsea to Atlético Madrid.
According to Tuttosport, the arrival of the Senegalese striker could reduce Sorloth’s playing time in Spain and potentially open the door for the Norwegian to leave.

However, Juventus cannot make a move immediately. Before pursuing another striker, the Bianconeri must first find a solution for Jonathan David, whose future could prove decisive in the final days of the transfer window.
Jackson-to-Atlético Could Change Sorloth’s Future
The possible transfer of Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea to Atlético Madrid could trigger a chain reaction in the Spanish club’s attack.
With another high-profile striker arriving, competition for places would increase significantly, potentially pushing Sorloth further down the pecking order.
The scenario was discussed by transfer expert Nicolò Schira during Tuttosport’s Aperimercato programme.
While there is currently no advanced negotiation between Juventus and Sorloth, the developments between Chelsea and Atlético could create an interesting opportunity late in the window.
Juventus have been monitoring Sorloth for several months and appreciate his physical presence, ability to hold up the ball and effectiveness inside the penalty area.
Those qualities could give Luciano Spalletti a different attacking option and add more variety to the Bianconeri’s frontline.

The Norwegian is currently dealing with a muscular problem, meaning his fitness will need to be assessed before any potential acceleration. Nevertheless, the injury has not eliminated Juventus’ interest.
Jonathan David Holds the Key
For Juventus, however, there is an important obstacle. The attacking department is already crowded, meaning the club would need to make room before bringing in another striker.
Jonathan David appears to be the key to the situation. The Canadian has slipped down the hierarchy following the permanent arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, although he remains determined to prove his value to Spalletti.
Therefore, Sorloth’s potential arrival in Turin could depend first on David’s future.
If Juventus manage to find a solution for the Canadian, and Jackson completes his move to Atlético Madrid, the Norwegian striker could suddenly emerge as one of the most intriguing opportunities available to the Bianconeri in the closing stages of the transfer window.
