# Manchester United among clubs tracking Sorloth

Manchester United have joined the list of clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace forward Alexander Sorloth this summer.

[According to Turkish outlet Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/dunya-devlerinin-pesinde-oldugu-alexander-sorloth-kararini-verdi-2132715), Manchester United are one of a number of clubs now keen on the striker ahead of next season.

[The report claims](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/dunya-devlerinin-pesinde-oldugu-alexander-sorloth-kararini-verdi-2132715) that Napoli, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and AC Milan are also in the hunt for his signature, with Trabzonspor set to demand up to €30m for him.

Palace sent Sorloth out on loan to Trabzonspor last summer, with an option-to-buy for just [€6m](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/dunya-devlerinin-pesinde-oldugu-alexander-sorloth-kararini-verdi-2132715). The Turkish club could now be set for a profit of up to €24m if they secure his services on a permanent basis this summer.

With these top European sides eyeing up Sorloth, Palace’s decision-makers could be left scratching their heads and wondering how this has happened.

If Manchester United, or any of the other sides mentioned, sign Sorloth for €30m this summer then Palace could be left ruining their decision last summer. Instead of earning a massive payday on Sorloth, they may only receive the €6m from Trabzonspor as agreed in the deal.

On the other side, Palace could also have brought Sorloth back into their own squad. The Eagles have scored the [second-least](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace)amount of goals in the Premier League this season and Sorloth – [on current form](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302497/Show/Alexander-S%C3%B8rloth) – could have made a difference. He has proven himself to be a [goalscorer](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302497/Show/Alexander-S%C3%B8rloth) this season and could have improved Palace’s squad next season and this is another reason why Palace may regret their decision.
