Alexander Sørloth

Alexander Sørloth is a towering 1.96 m striker for Atlético Madrid and Norway's second focal point in attack alongside Erling Haaland, offering Ståle Solbakken a powerful target-man profile who holds up play and dominates in the air. The son of former Rosenborg and Norway international Gøran Sørloth, he rebuilt his career across Turkey, Germany and Spain before a €32m move to Atlético in 2024, where he immediately top-scored in La Liga. The juicy detail: on 10 May 2025 he hammered four first-half goals against his old club Real Sociedad — including a hat-trick inside four minutes — becoming the first player in La Liga history to complete a hat-trick before the 12th minute, breaking a record held by David Villa since 2006. Norwegian press (NRK) report Juventus and Atlético were negotiating a transfer even as he prepared for the World Cup in the USA.
