Aston Villa target Alexander Sorloth has been watched by Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, according to a report on Asist Analiz.
The Turkish news outlet revealed that Real Madrid were impressed with Sorloth’s two-goal display over the weekend and asked about the forward’s price.
As stated in the report, Trabzonspor have placed a €50m price tag on the Crystal Palace striker, who is currently on a two-season loan deal with the Super Lig side.
Real Madrid are said to have found the Norway international’s performance “quite appealing” and will think about a potential move at the end of the season.

According to Voetbal Nieuws, Premier League side Aston Villa are also interested in signing the striker after his recent form.
The attacker is prolific in front of goal at the moment, finding the back of the net 24 times in all competitions (Transfermarkt), which proves why some of Europe’s top clubs are starting to be interested in him.
Trabzonspor have the option to sign Sorloth from Palace for a mere €6m at the end of his loan spell next season and are likely to considerably bump up his price by then.
It was reported earlier this season that Villa were in danger of breaching FFP rules, so we believe they may not be able to fund such a move for Sorloth, and even if they could, competing against a giant like Real Madrid may have proved to be too hard anyway because of the appeal of European football.
