Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, and Aston Villa are all monitoring Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi, according to a report by The Athletic. The 21-year-old German U21 international has emerged as a potential summer target for the three clubs following a prolific season in Belgium.
Tresoldi joined Club Brugge in January 2023 from Viktoria Köln, quickly establishing himself as a key player. In 58 appearances for the Belgian side, he has recorded 23 goals and nine assists, showcasing his ability to both score and create opportunities. His form has also translated to the international stage, where he has netted 12 times in 24 games for Germany’s Under-21 team.
The Athletic reports that Dortmund and Atletico have been long-term admirers of the player, suggesting the interest predates his recent performances. Aston Villa have entered the fray more recently, potentially seeking attacking reinforcements ahead of next season. Unai Emery’s side are currently competing for a Champions League place in the Premier League and may look to strengthen their squad regardless of qualification.
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann recently revealed he considered calling up Tresoldi to his senior World Cup squad, highlighting the growing recognition of his talent. While he ultimately did not make the final selection, Nagelsmann’s comments underscore Tresoldi’s potential to break into the national team setup. A move to a higher profile league could further accelerate his development and increase his chances of earning a senior international cap.
Club Brugge are currently second in the Belgian Pro League, but a departure for Tresoldi would undoubtedly represent a significant loss. The potential transfer fee is currently undisclosed, but his goalscoring record suggests he would command a substantial fee. The interest from multiple clubs could potentially drive up the price, providing Club Brugge with funds to reinvest in their squad. A move to any of the interested clubs would offer Tresoldi the opportunity to play at a higher level and test himself against some of Europe’s best players.
