Atlético de Madrid can now breathe a little easier in this summer transfer market. The team from the capital of Spain , which is fine-tuning its weapons for the season to come, made a significant reinforcement. This is none other than Alexander Sorloth , who arrives from Villarreal after having a great campaign.
Alexander Sorloth , who arrives to be Antoine Griezmann 's attacking partner, is another player's great threat. This is Ángel Correa , who has been on the exit ramp in recent months. In this way, he will have to take a step forward if he wants to convince his coach.
Alexander Sorloth, Ángel Correa's rival, already has a number for Atlético de Madrid
The Norwegian, the first footballer of that nationality to wear the mattress shirt, already knows what number he will wear. It will be the ' 9 ', one with a lot of history in the capital team and who was left free by Memphis Depay , who did not continue. After the Dutchman did not have much luck with that number, now it is Alexander Sorloth 's turn.
The former Real Sociedad player is not going to have it easy when it comes to earning a place with Diego Pablo Simeone. Ángel Correa , a reference on and off the field at Atlético de Madrid , wants to vindicate himself in the eyes of his coach. More so, with the arrival of a player like the Norwegian, called to fill a gap in the starting eleven.
Ángel Correa, faced with a new threat with the arrival of Alexander Sorloth
The Argentine striker, who has had the opportunity to leave on several occasions, is key for Diego Pablo Simeone. Ángel Correa , despite everything, has always had a place at Atlético de Madrid and that, for the moment, does not change. The arrival of Alexander Sorloth at the Metropolitano could mean a before and after.
Expectations for the former Real Sociedad player are going to be high, very high, since he comes to replace Álvaro Morata . The Madrid native, who will play in Serie A next season, surpassed 20 goals in one of his best campaigns. Meanwhile, the Norwegian, with 23 in the domestic tournament, came to fight until the end for the ' Pichichi '.
For his part, Ángel Correa , who played 32 league games, scored nine goals in LaLiga EA Sports . Although he is not an undisputed starter, he continues to be part of Atlético de Madrid 's plans for the future. Unless an irrefutable offer appears, it is key for Diego Pablo Simeone , who has him in very high esteem.
Alexander Sorloth squeezes Ángel Correa hard against Diego Pablo Simeone
Although he has only been in the capital for a few hours, Alexander Sorloth has already trained with Diego Pablo Simeone 's team. In fact, in his first session, together with Robin Le Normand , he earned congratulations from the physical trainer. As As points out, their work and the intensity they have printed on the green have been key.
In this way, Atlético de Madrid faces a tough dilemma, since Ángel Correa could be threatened. With the arrival of Alexander Sorloth , his number of minutes may be reduced and it is in his power to change that. He must work harder than ever to prove that he deserves more opportunities under Diego Pablo Simeone .
