Newcastle are ready to launch a bid for the £40m star who has just embarrassed Real Madrid

After his slow start in front of goal this season. Newcastle United The club are said to be ready to initiate a move in 2026 to sign the £40m+ striker who has just humiliated Real Madrid.

Newcastle’s goal scoring problem

It is normal for Newcastle to struggle in front of goal. They just lost One of the best strikers in Premier League For a record deal in Alexander Isaak. Replacing the Swede’s production has never been an easy task, but replacing his underrated creativity has so far proven even more difficult.

While Nick Woltemade has so far managed to score goals on his own – scoring three times in his first four Premier League appearances – the likes of Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga are still struggling to contribute around him.

In total, Newcastle have scored six goals in the Premier League. Only Nottingham Forest and bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers have managed lower results and it cannot be denied that this is a problem. Eddie Howe must be solved.

However, the manager is far from panicked He told reporters Earlier this season: “I’m excited about the team we can be. We definitely have things to learn about each other and formulas to try that we know will work.

“The most important thing is that the foundation is solid. The team is playing hard, but we are missing the X factor that I think will come. With the players we have, some of them guarantee goals and they have done that historically.”

What could definitely help in finding the ‘X-factor’ is the January transfer window. After such a chaotic summer, the Magpies are said to be ready to bounce back with the hope of strengthening their attacking options further this winter.

Newcastle prepares Sorloth offer

According to reports from Spain. Newcastle are now preparing a bid for Alexander Sorloth From Real Madrid in a deal worth 50 million euros (44 million pounds). The Atletico Madrid striker has started just three La Liga games so far this season, and may have to look elsewhere for consistent playing time in the near future.

Newcastle must be well aware of the 29-year-old’s situation after sending scouts to watch him in action against Real Madrid where he scored the equalizer in a 5-2 win over rivals Atletico.

Whether Diego Simeone and Atletico will agree to Sortloth’s exit in 2026 is the big question.

The famous coach praised the striker when he scored the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Spanish League against Real Sociedad last season. Saying: “I was very happy with the team’s first half overall.

“Alex, of course, is a completely different matter. He had a fantastic night, especially those first 45 minutes, decisively finishing off every ball that came his way.”

If there is a chance for Newcastle, a switch to Sorloth wouldn’t be a bad idea. He is a proven striker at the highest level these days and his work is unfinished in the Premier League after his previous struggles at Crystal Palace.
