Atlético de Madrid are weighing a move for Dušan Vlahović without offloading Alexander Sørloth, with decisive days ahead as Beşiktaş press their case.

According to La Colina De Nervion, the club are working with the striker’s camp to assess a deal that would keep the Norwegian in the squad while the side from Türkiye maintain a significant proposal for the Serbian.

After ending his Juventus spell, the 26-year-old is a free agent, giving Atlético de Madrid the chance to strengthen up front without a transfer fee. The key question is the financial structure and whether his terms can fit alongside Sørloth.

The outlook around Sørloth has shifted. He remains under Diego Simeone, so any move for Vlahović would not automatically trigger his exit.

If the transfer is completed, Simeone would have Julián Álvarez, Sørloth and Vlahović as his principal attacking options, increasing competition and depth across competitions.

Beşiktaş do not want negotiations to drag, which shortens the timeline. Vlahović is waiting on a definitive step from Madrid, and a resolution may not run to deadline day.

For an agreement to land, two pieces must align, affordable terms for Atlético de Madrid and a quick response before the Türkiye route prevails. The club’s next move will shape Vlahović’s future and Simeone’s attack for the new season.
