The Eagles allowed the striker to join the Turkish side on a two-year loan deal and the latter retain an option to make the transfer permanent.

Tuttosport and Mediaset journalist Raffaele Auriemma has provided an update on the Palace owned player to Radio Marte, and CalcioNapoli24 have relayed his comments.

Auriemma states the Norway international’s agents, Mike Kjolo and Morten Wivestad, offered the 24-year-old to Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

Real Madrid also like Sørloth as they view him as a replacement for Luka Jović.

The Serbian cost Zinedine Zidane’s side €60m last summer and has struggled to impress in his debut season in the La Liga. Therefore, Jović is expected to leave in the summer.

According to Auriemma, Napoli will move for Sørloth, if Los Blancos decide against signing him. Otherwise, the Italian side will try to sign Jović.
