Atletico Madrid is opening the door for the departure of their Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth during the upcoming winter transfer window, following a noticeable decline in his performance at the start of the current season, according to the website 'Fichajes'.

Sorloth, who will turn thirty in December, is experiencing one of his toughest periods since joining the club. After scoring 20 goals last season in just 1500 minutes, making him one of the most effective strikers in La Liga, he is struggling this season with a lack of confidence and reduced attacking decisiveness.

Fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the player's performance, as he has become a target for criticism due to his poor effectiveness in front of goal. Meanwhile, the coaching staff believes that the continuation of this crisis may necessitate searching for more impactful attacking alternatives in January.

Atletico Madrid's management is considering possible options to part ways with the Norwegian striker, especially given the interest from several European clubs looking to acquire him at a reasonable price.

Despite the current decline, Sorloth still possesses important physical attributes such as strength and aerial ability, making him an attractive option for some clubs. However, his future at the Rojiblancos seems open to all possibilities, with a critical eye on the coming weeks before the winter transfer market opens.
