Juventus Plan SWAP DEAL with Atlético Madrid

Juventus could be preparing a major move in the January transfer window, with Atlético Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth emerging as a leading target to strengthen their attack.

According to Calciomercato, the Norwegian international is once again attracting serious interest from the Bianconeri, and a potential swap deal involving Jonathan David could offer a solution for both clubs.

Sørloth, born in 1995, was already on Juventus’ radar during the summer transfer window. Head coach Luciano Spalletti was particularly keen on the Atlético Madrid striker, but the Turin giants were unable to reach an agreement with the Spanish club over the player’s valuation.

Now, however, the situation could be changing, potentially opening the door for Juventus to revive their interest in the powerful Norwegian forward.

Sørloth Could Replace Jonathan David at Juventus

One factor that could influence negotiations is Sørloth’s current position at Atlético Madrid. The Norwegian striker has reportedly slipped behind Jonathan David in the pecking order, potentially making a January departure a realistic possibility.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus could explore a swap deal involving the two forwards, an option that might benefit all parties involved.

Under this scenario, Sørloth would move to Turin on a permanent transfer, giving Spalletti the centre-forward he has been interested in since the summer. Meanwhile, David would become a permanent Atlético Madrid player.

The Canadian striker is currently playing for the Spanish side on loan, with Atlético holding an option to make the move permanent before the end of the season.

A January agreement could therefore accelerate a decision that would otherwise be postponed until the summer.

Juventus Could Reopen Negotiations in January

For Juventus, signing Sørloth would represent an opportunity to add a physically imposing striker with international experience and a profile that could suit Spalletti’s attacking plans.

The proposed exchange remains a possibility rather than a confirmed agreement, and negotiations would depend on the valuations of both players and the willingness of the two clubs to reach a compromise.

Nevertheless, with the January transfer window approaching, Sørloth’s situation at Atlético Madrid could become one to watch closely.

The coming weeks should provide a clearer picture of Juventus’ plans, with the potential Jonathan David swap emerging as an intriguing option if the Bianconeri decide to push ahead with their pursuit of the Norwegian striker.
