The Club Brugge striker was one of the best performers of this Champions League matchday.
His hat-trick against Inter Milan reinforces the positive reports that clubs such as Atlético Madrid and Barcelona have compiled about him. He is eligible to represent as many as three national teams.
The most unexpected result of the latest Champions League round was Club Brugge's victory over Inter Milan. The Belgian side defeated the reigning Italian champions 4-3 at the Guiseppe Meazza. The star of the matchday was none other than striker Nicolò Tresoldi. Spanish clubs such as Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have been monitoring him for several months.
The 22-year-old forward scored three goals in a match that keeps the Belgian side dreaming of making history in Europe's premier club competition. Tresoldi now has nine goals in 11 appearances this season, following a previous campaign in which he recorded 23 goals and seven assists in 58 matches for Brugge. During the summer, there was speculation that he could join Atlético Madrid or Barcelona.
Tresoldi appears increasingly likely to leave Brugge toward the end of this year. His contract runs until 2029, but his future is being discussed not only in terms of clubs. Nicolò Tresoldi holds German, Italian, and Argentine nationality because of his family's background. He currently plays for Germany's under-21 team, although informal contacts with the other federations have also taken place.
Born in Cagliari in 2004, Tresoldi has always been cautious when discussing his future. He has made it clear that his focus remains solely on Brugge for now, while several European and South American federations look to secure his international allegiance. Belgian media reports suggest a minimum asking price of €60 million for a potential departure in the summer of 2027.
His name emerged in Spain as a possible Atlético Madrid signing in case that Julián Álvarez left the club. When the Argentine was unable to leave the Rojiblancos, Barcelona expressed similar interest. Tresoldi was the standout performer in a Champions League matchday that culminated in Brugge's unexpected victory in Milan.
Tresoldi is a powerful striker who also possesses considerable pace. He is now on the radar of Spain's leading clubs as they look ahead to the summer of 2027, when he is expected to leave Belgian football. It remains to be seen which club he chooses, as the player was named MVP against the Italian side continues to attract interest from several national federations regarding his international future.
