Nicolò Tresoldi proved to be a true goal machine, completing his third hat-trick in just 26 days. The 22-year-old from Bruges scored three times in the 3‑2 win against St. Truiden, in which he scored one goal with his left foot, another with his right foot in just two minutes and the last in the 75th minute. With these performances, Tresoldi adds to the two other hat-tricks he scored in the Champions League against Inter (4-3) and in a match with Germany U-21 against Malta (4-1).
The player has already accumulated 12 goals in 14 appearances this season, of which 7 were scored in the four matches in October. With these numbers, Tresoldi is tied with Westerlo's Norman Bassette in the top scorer rankings, both with seven goals. Bruges, the reigning champions, are currently just one point behind leaders Gent after nine matchdays of the Belgian championship.
Tresoldi was bought by the Belgian club in 2025 from Hannover for 7.5 million euros and signed a contract that lasts until 2029. However, his extraordinary performances have attracted the attention of numerous top clubs. Borussia Dortmund, Inter, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Arsenal have already shown interest, while Milan have expressed a strong desire to bring him into their squad. The owner of Bruges, Gerry Cardinale, has entrusted the Rossoneri management to examine the terms of a possible transfer and to contact the player's agents even before the explosion of goals against Inter in Europe.
Milan have included the hiring of Tresoldi in their list of priorities, with the prospect of a transfer by January or, at most, in the summer. If the negotiation is successful, the 22-year-old could become one of the most sought-after choices for the Rossoneri team in search of offensive reinforcements. For now, Brugge continues to benefit from his talent, keeping the team at the top of the table and cementing Tresoldi's position as one of the best scorers in the Belgian league.
