Barcelona have opened talks with Atletico over the potential transfer of Alexander Sorloth, who currently plays as a forward. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Juventus, Liverpool and Tottenham are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. Barcelona have been strong going forward this season, with 84 goals scored in 31 games (2.71 per game). Alexander Sorloth would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Atletico continue to be linked with Andrew Robertson and Cristian Romero while Barcelona are also rumoured to be tracking Denzel Dumfries, Alessandro Bastoni and Bernardo Silva.
