According to "Marca" reports, Newcastle are paying close attention to Atletico Madrid forward Sorlot and have listed him as a key signing target in the winter window to fill the center vacancy left after Isaac left the team.
In order to conduct an in-depth examination of the players, Newcastle specifically sent two scouts to Madrid to watch Atletico Madrid's 5-2 victory over Real Madrid in the derby.
According to sources, the only task of these two scouts in the high-level stands of the stadium is to observe Sollot. Armed with notebooks, they recorded every move and touch and put a positive mark on their performance assessment after Sorlott's header.
A key detail is that when Sorlot was replaced by coach Simeone in the 67th minute of the game, the two scouts immediately ended their work and left the stadium, which showed that their goals were very clear.
Reports pointed out that Sollot’s physical fitness and technical characteristics are very suitable for the Premier League. Newcastle have not yet submitted a formal bid, but are expected to take action after the winter window opens in January next year.
Sorlot's contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2028, and his current annual salary is about 3 million euros. If he moves to Newcastle, his salary is expected to be increased.
