Belgian striker Nicolò Tresoldi, 22, has put his name on the agenda of European clubs after his spectacular hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the first leg of the quarterfinals, Bruges beat the Italian 3-3 at the San Siro, but Tresoldi was the author of the assist that opened the scoring and the goal that tied the match. The previous night, at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, the Belgian player scored the three goals that gave Bruges a 4-3 victory, becoming one of the most talked-about names in the competition.
Tresoldi's performance has attracted the attention of several great football powers. Atlético de Madrid, which had already shown interest in the striker after the group stage match with Bruges, has reinforced its monitoring thanks to information from Italian journalist Nico Schira. Atlético values the versatility of Tresoldi, who speaks Spanish thanks to his Argentine mother, and believes that his adaptation to the club would be quick. Furthermore, the forward has an interesting multinationality: he was born in Italy, moved to Germany when he was a child and is a German U-21 international, which opens the possibility that the Argentine National Team will also look for him.
Brugge keep Tresoldi under contract until 2029, but the Belgian club have valued him at €50 million this summer, although Transfermarkt puts it at €35 million. Atlético, along with other teams such as Barcelona, Tottenham, Arsenal and Bayern Munich, have shown interest in signing him, especially after Julián Álvarez's market stalled. The forward has also become an attractive option for Atlético in case they say goodbye to an important forward like Sorloth or Álvarez.
With such an outstanding performance in the Champions League, the transfer window opens for Atlético and other clubs looking to strengthen their forwards. Bruges, aware of the pressure exerted by the market, will have to decide whether to keep Tresoldi or accept an offer that could exceed 50 million euros. For the forward, the next phase of the transfer market will be crucial, since his current level puts him in the sights of the most ambitious teams in Europe.
