Atlético have closed the signing of Alexander Sorloth. Villarreal have accepted the financial conditions for the transfer to take place, which could become official shortly. Sorloth will be Morata’s replacement and Simeone already has the striker he wants.
Atlético will spend 32 million euros in fixed terms plus another 8 in variables, which are easy to fulfil, according to sources at Villarreal. There are other bonuses in the contract, which could reach 2.5 million more, although they are more difficult to fulfil. The player’s clause is 38 million. Furthermore, if Atlético sells the player before two years have passed, 20% of a hypothetical capital gain would go to Villarreal. Atlético’s intention is for the forward to join the red-and-white team as soon as possible, although the Madrid team travels to Hong Kong tomorrow.
