Atletico Madrid goes top of La Liga with win over Levante, ahead of rivalries in Italy and Germany

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is eager to work with Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sorloth again. The Norwegian striker, who started the season injured, has been struggling for playing time at his current club. Spalletti had initially aimed to sign Sorloth last summer but decided against it when Juventus opted for Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade instead.

Now, as the January transfer window approaches, Spalletti is keen to pursue another opportunity to bring Sorloth to Juventus. Despite being a priority for Spalletti, convincing Sorloth to leave Atletico Madrid would require more than just offering him regular opportunities - the player would still need to prove his worth in training to earn a starting position.

A loan move could provide the necessary experience and boost to convince Sorloth to make the switch to Turin.
