Belgian striker NicoloTresoldi, 22, has once again been in the spotlight after his impressive hat-trick at the SanSiro against Inter, where he scored all three of Milan's goals in a 4-3 victory. His performance in the Champions League and the Jupiler Pro League, where he scored 19 goals and provided five assists last season, has seen his value rise to around 35 million euros, according to Transfermarkt, and his contract with Bruges, which lasts until June 2029, keeps him at an even higher price.
Last summer, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid showed interest in the young forward, but the operation did not materialize. Despite this, his recent development suggests that a departure from the Belgian club is likely in the near future. All three teams, along with Milan, which is the club Tresoldi dreams of playing for one day, have held talks about a possible transfer.
The 22-year-old Tresoldi also faces an international dilemma. You can choose to represent Germany, Italy or Argentina, as your ancestry includes all three countries. After his performance against Inter, he explained that “he is Italian, but also German… and my mother is Argentine,” and that he will decide when the time is right. He has had conversations with coaches such as JürgenKlopp and RobertoMancini, and remains linked to the German U-21, where he has stood out for his scoring ability.
The hat-trick at the SanSiro not only cemented his reputation as a versatile striker, capable of playing with his back and making the final pass, but also increased his appeal to big European clubs. With his contract extended and his value rising, Brugge are in a favorable negotiating position, while the teams seeking him must decide if they are willing to pay the price that the player and his agent demand.
As for the next steps, Milan remain interested in signing Tresoldi, although the club must wait for the player to decide his nationality and for Brugge to authorize the transfer. In the meantime, the striker will continue playing for his club and the German U-21 team, keeping his future options open both at club and internationally.
