Alexander Sørloth is already in the United States with the Norwegian national team to win the World Cup. And as I have heard, the telephone works across the pond.
Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is said to have had personal talks with Alexander Sørloth, while Bayern Munich have warned the “Bianconeri” that they will not sell Kim Min-jae for less than 40 million euros.

Juventus are making progress in their pursuit of Atlético Madrid striker Sørloth. According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus directors have already held talks with the Norwegian’s entourage, while coach Spalletti has spoken directly to the 30-year-old player.
Atletico open to negotiations
Both Gazzetta and Sky Sport claim that Atlético Madrid are open to discussing a possible transfer for Sørloth. Especially because they want to make Nico González’s loan transfer from Juventus permanent – but at a lower transfer fee than the €32 million agreed last summer.
Chasing defensive reinforcement
Juventus are also looking for defensive reinforcements, and according to Gazzetta, Bayern Munich’s Kim Min-jae is one of their main targets.
The former Napoli centre-back, who was set to reunite with Spalletti after winning the Scudetto with Napoli in 2022/23, has already given the green light to a possible move to the Allianz Stadium. But Bayern Munich’s price tag is currently set at 40 million euros.
Hope the price falls
Juventus will be hoping that Bayern Munich’s demands will subside in the coming weeks – especially as the 29-year-old has not been a regular starter at the Allianz Arena in 2025/26.
