According to newspaper Marca, the Magpies are seeking another number 9 for the January transfer market. The intention is to fill the void left by Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool on the last day of the last window. That said, the flavour of the month at the English club is Alexander Sorloth from Atletico Madrid.
Still according to the Spanish newspaper, on 27th September, two Newcastle representatives were present at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano to observe the 29-year-old striker. And fate would have it that Sorloth had his best match of the season. Started by Diego Simeone, he scored a goal and helped the Colchoneros thrash arch-rivals Real Madrid 5-2.

Will Newcastle advance for Sorloth?
Although he is not an undisputed starter in his system, Simeone appreciates Sorloth's characteristics and considers it important to maintain a tall, strong striker who is good in the air in the squad. Signed in August last year from Villarreal, the number 9 cost £27.4m from Atletico Madrid's coffers.
The striker has a contract with the Colchoneros until 2028 and a salary of around £2.6m. If they want to convince the Norwegian to change scenery, the Magpies will very probably have to increase his wages. In addition, of course, to waving a good proposal to the Spanish team.
