Marca: Newcastle intends to sign Atletico Madrid forward Serlot in the winter window, saying he is suitable for the Premier League as a fulcrum

Hupu News on October 9th According to the latest news jointly reported by the Spanish media "Marca" Atletico Madrid reporters ISAACSUÁREZ and DAVIDG.MEDINA, although in this summer's transfer window Stuttgart forward Walter Mader has been signed, but Newcastle United is still paying attention to the reinforcement of the center position. The Magpies are making Atletico Madrid forward Serlott their number one winter transfer target to fill the forward vacancy left by Isaac's departure.

In order to comprehensively evaluate the Norwegian international, Newcastle sent two senior scouts to the Madrid Derby site. In Atletico Madrid's 5-2 victory over Real Madrid, they sat in the Bernabeu's senior stands and focused on observing Serlot's performance. According to eyewitness descriptions, the scout held a tactical notebook to record the details of every movement and touch of the ball. When the player scored with a powerful header, the two of them left key marks on the evaluation report.

It is worth mentioning that when Serlot was replaced by Simeone in the 67th minute, the two scouts immediately packed up their equipment and left the field early - this detail fully confirmed the singleness and pertinence of this inspection mission.

Report analysis pointed out that Thurlot has the characteristics of both impact and tactical fulcrum ability, which is highly consistent with the style of the Premier League. Although Newcastle has not yet made a formal offer, the club has planned to take substantial action after the winter window opens. The 28-year-old Norwegian striker's contract with Atletico Madrid lasts until 2028. His current annual salary is about 3 million euros. If he successfully lands at St. James Park, his salary is expected to be significantly improved.
