Fenerbahçe SK has made securing Alexander Sörloth for a €30 million fee its top priority, aiming to boost its attacking options. In the 2025 season, Fenerbahçe finished 2nd with 67 points and posted a DWWWL run in the last five games.
Why is Sörloth a priority?
The Norwegian striker netted 44 goals and added 3 assists for Atletico Madrid last season, establishing himself as one of La Liga's most lethal forwards. Fenerbahçe sees his performance as a chance to add experience and finishing quality to the front line, placing him at the top of the transfer list.
What does Atletico Madrid demand?
Sources report that Atletico Madrid is asking for a €30 million transfer fee. The club must weigh this amount against its budget and transfer policy, while also considering Sörloth's 1995 birth year and long‑term value.
Sörloth's Turkish track record
During the 2019/2020 season, Sörloth played on loan at Trabzonspor and finished as the league’s top scorer. In the Süper Lig he recorded 24 goals and 9 assists in 34 matches, proving his ability to adapt quickly. Fans expect a swift integration into Fenerbahçe’s system.
Impact on Fenerbahçe
If the move materialises, Fenerbahçe’s attack could close the one‑point gap behind league leaders Galatasaray. The team has already scored 68 goals, conceded 30, and enjoys a +38 goal difference. Adding Sörloth may widen this margin and keep the title race tight.
Next steps and expectations
Club officials are finalising medical checks and personal terms with Atletico Madrid. An official announcement will signal the completion of squad planning ahead of the new season. Supporters believe this signing will push Fenerbahçe a step closer to the championship.
