Over the weekend, TV2 in Norway reported Crystal Palace owned Alexander Sørloth is in ‘final negotiations’ with RB Leipzig.
It was also explained the Bundesliga club’s officials held a meeting with the striker in Trondheim.
Nidaros have come up with an update, relayed by TV2, and they state the 24-year-old has ‘decided to sign’ for the Champions League semi-finalists.
It’s also explained the Norway international has agreed personal terms with Leipzig, and Julian Nagelsmann’s presence is one of the main reasons he has decided to join the German club.
Nidaros’ claims have been relayed by Nettavisen, and the latter also got in touch with Alexander’s father, Gøran Sørloth, to get an update on the recent developments.
“I see that there have been some names here, but I do not know anything other than what is mentioned, that he is in negotiations,” Gøran said.
“It is no secret that when you become the top scorer in Turkey, there are clubs that are looking for you. If a transfer is completed, then there is nothing better than that.
“When such a name appeared (like Leipzig) it was impressive, and I was quite impressed. I saw their match in the Champions League the other day. It’s a good football team, which is important, if there is to be a transfer.”
The Eagles allowed Alexander to join Trabzonspor on a two-year deal with an obligation to buy. The temporary deal is until 2021.
“We can only hope that something is cleared up in a short time, that is what is a bit of the point. There are several aspects of this transfer, with the loan from Crystal Palace via Trabzonspor, and to a third club,” Gøran added.
