Manchester United has been approached by intermediaries regarding a potential transfer for Alexander Sorloth, who is available for approximately £30 million. Although the Atletico Madrid striker is not actively seeking an exit, he remains open to opportunities that align with his career goals. Other clubs, including Newcastle United and Juventus, have also been offered the player.

Currently, Manchester United has not reached a final decision on Sorloth. However, there is a growing inclination to bolster their squad with another striker before the summer transfer window closes.

• Sorloth may not be the most thrilling addition for fans at Old Trafford, but he boasts a solid track record suited for Premier League play.
• Standing at 6 ft 5 in, Sorloth presents a formidable physical presence that could pose challenges for opposing defenses, providing a valuable option even as a substitute.
• While he might primarily serve as a squad player, manager Michael Carrick is reportedly seeking depth behind Benjamin Sesko.

Sources indicate, “Alexander Sorloth has been offered to Manchester United, and they have not ruled out a move.” The club faces time constraints, needing to decide quickly as other teams show interest. Although they might hesitate to meet the £30 million asking price, a loan negotiation could be on the table.

With two years remaining on his contract with Atletico, a permanent transfer is likely preferred by the Spanish club to avoid losing value.

A potential exit for Joshua Zirkzee could significantly impact United’s plans. The Dutch player has struggled at Old Trafford but has garnered interest from Serie A clubs. If Zirkzee departs for a fee, it may enable United to reinvest in a signing like Sorloth, although a loan exit complicates matters.
