Alexander Sørloth continues to be linked with Juventus, but the reality is that any move for the Norwegian striker depends on one crucial condition.
A deal would only become a concrete possibility if Atletico Madrid were willing to consider signing Nico Gonzalez under Juventus’ financial terms.
In other words, the potential transfer is closely tied to negotiations between the two clubs.

Nico Gonzalez Holds the Key
Juventus do not view Nico Gonzalez as a player to be sold at a discount. The club’s new management, led by Giovanni Carnevali, has placed a firm valuation on the Argentine winger and has no intention of lowering its demands.
Should Atletico Madrid agree to those conditions, talks could expand to include Sørloth, whose physical presence, international experience, and proven goalscoring ability make him an attractive profile for the Bianconeri.
Kolo Muani Remains the Priority
For now, however, Juventus’ main focus remains completing a deal for Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.
Only if those negotiations become increasingly difficult—or if particularly favorable conditions emerge with Atletico Madrid—could Sørloth move higher up the club’s shortlist.
Carnevali has made Juventus’ transfer strategy clear: the club will not accept inflated prices or unfavorable terms.
The same approach applies to Nico Gonzalez, with Juventus prepared to discuss his departure only if their valuation is fully respected. There will be no cut-price sales simply to facilitate another signing.
If Atletico Madrid eventually agree to include Nico Gonzalez in negotiations while meeting Juventus’ financial demands, discussions over Sørloth could quickly gather momentum.
Otherwise, the deal is expected to remain on the sidelines, with Juventus continuing to explore alternative options to strengthen their attack.
