Sorloth or Zirkzee? Spalletti has chosen

Juventus do not consider their attacking department complete yet, with Luciano Spalletti reportedly pushing for the arrival of another striker before the summer transfer window closes.

According to La Repubblica, the Bianconeri have already identified a preferred target, with Alexander Sorloth emerging as the forward most appreciated by Spalletti.

The Norwegian striker is expected to leave Atletico Madrid, making his situation one to watch closely as Juventus continue to assess their options.

Sorloth’s profile is believed to appeal strongly to Spalletti, who is looking for an additional attacking option capable of adding more presence and physicality to his squad.

His potential availability could therefore make him an increasingly important name in Juventus’ transfer plans.

Sorloth Spalletti’s Favourite, Zirkzee Still in the Frame

However, Sorloth is not the only option being considered in Turin. Juventus sporting director Frederic Massara is reportedly continuing to keep Joshua Zirkzee on his list of possible targets.

The Manchester United forward remains a player of interest for Massara, meaning Juventus could ultimately have two different profiles under consideration as they decide how to complete their attack.

The contrast between the two situations is particularly interesting. Sorloth appears to be the player Spalletti would prefer, while Zirkzee remains a solution appreciated by Massara, keeping the Dutchman firmly in the club’s plans despite the attention surrounding other targets.

For Juventus, the next few weeks could therefore be crucial in determining which direction the club takes. The priority is clear: Spalletti wants another attacking reinforcement, and the club is now weighing the characteristics, availability and feasibility of two established names.

With Sorloth potentially on his way out of Atletico Madrid and Zirkzee still being monitored at Manchester United, Juventus have two concrete options to evaluate.

As reported by La Repubblica, the final decision could ultimately come down to whether the club follows Spalletti’s preference or opts for Massara’s alternative.
