Juventus consider last-ditch swoop for Atletico Madrid’s Sorloth – Football Italia

Reports in Italy claim that Juventus are considering a last-minute swoop for Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth with less than 24 hours of the January transfer window left to go. 

Where Juventus stand with Kolo Muani, PSG and Tottenham

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia late on Sunday evening, Juventus are still keen to add another striker to Luciano Spalletti’s transfer ranks on the final day of the winter window. 

The most recent update claims that Juventus are still hoping that a deal for last season’s loanee Randal Kolo Muani comes off, despite reported reluctance from his current loan club Tottenham Hotspur. 

Paris Saint-Germain, Kolo Muani’s parent club, are reportedly prepared to send him back to Juventus, but Tottenham are currently unwilling to terminate their loan agreement in order to facilitate that move. 

If the Kolo Muani deal were to open up, he would still be Juventus’s first choice on deadline day according to Sunday evening’s report. 

However, the Bianconeri are also evaluating options elsewhere. 

Last-minute considerations for Sorloth and Icardi

Di Marzio reports that Atletico Madrid’s Sorloth could potentially be a late option for the Old Lady in the final hours of the transfer window. 

The trouble is that Atletico would prefer to sell Sorloth on a permanent transfer if he is to leave, while Juventus are more interested in a loan deal at this stage of the season. 

Sorloth has scored seven goals from 21 appearances in LaLiga so far in 2025-26, and 10 from 30 outings in all competitions. The Norway international has scored 20+ goals in each of his last two full seasons in the Spanish top flight. 

Reports elsewhere claim that former Inter talisman Mauro Icardi, who worked under Luciano Spalletti in San Siro, is also among the options on deadline day. 

Icardi has spent the last three-and-a-half years with Galatasaray, where he has scored 61 league goals from 84 appearances, but is out of contract at the end of the 2025-26 campaign. 

Juventus have reportedly opened talks with Icardi’s camp, but Galatasaray are said to be seeking significant compensation for the 32-year-old despite his contract status.
