AC Milan bids €60 million for Nicolo Tresoldi this winter

Thanks to a mega price tag for Nicolo Tresoldi: AC Milan has put a winter offer of 60 million euros on the table for the 22‑year‑old striker of Club Brugge, which should only be realised if such an amount is accepted. The deal would prompt the Belgian traditional club to let the top striker go already at the turn of the year.

Strong season and Champions League successes

Tresoldi has scored eight goals in eleven league games in his second season at Club Brugge and boasts a total of 31 goal involvements in 58 appearances.

In the Champions League he has already netted five goals in four matches, including a historic hat‑trick against Inter Milan.

Transfer rumours and Club Brugge’s stance

According to reports, a winter transfer has so far been ruled out because a Brugge official told him that the 22‑year‑old is “unsellable” and offers in January are “completely irrelevant”.

Earlier, rumours circulated about a summer asking price of 50 million euros for the striker.

The Italian daily reported that AC Milan has already declared the transfer a top priority and the player is only waiting for a call from the Rossoneri.

His father Emmanuele said his son has dreamed of Kaka, Inzaghi and Pato since childhood and wants to wear the AC Milan shirt.

Besides Milan, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund were also mentioned last summer as potential buyers.

Germany's football press tz and the Münchner Merkur reported that FC Bayern Munich has repeatedly sent scouts to Belgium to monitor the German U‑21 international.

Despite Harry Kane's contract extension until 2029, Bayern see Tresoldi as a potential second option in the attacking centre.

However, a move to Munich is questionable due to strong competition for starting places and limited playing time prospects.

January window blocks Manchester City from Brugge striker Tresoldi

Coach Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl emphasized after the last transfer window that Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry, although currently injured, already provide suitable alternatives to Kane.

For the upcoming season, Luis Diaz remains the reliable alternative on the left wing for FC Bayern.

Tresoldi, 22, was transferred from Hannover 96 to Club Brugge in July 2025 for an alleged 7.5 million euros.

He is eligible to play for both the German and Italian national teams and could also represent Argentina, as his mother was born there.

Italian national coach Roberto Mancini and technical director Claudio Ranieri recently confirmed that both are vying intensely for the striker's services.

Club Brugge fundamentally refuses to sell key players in winter, as such a departure could jeopardise the team structure and replacement players are often overpriced and need adaptation.

In the last five winter transfer windows the club sold no player whose market value exceeded 15 million euros.

Bart Verhaeghe stated that only an astronomical offer from Bayern Munich or Manchester City after the season would provide a small chance for a winter sale.

An immediate departure is ruled out.

Ivan Leko praised Tresoldi's progress in pressing, interplay and duels in the spring and described him as fully ready for the team.

Leko also highlighted Tresoldi's hat‑tricks against Inter and STVV.

In addition to the already mentioned suitors, AS Roma, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Arsenal showed concrete interest in the striker during the summer.

Despite the great interest, a winter transfer to AC Milan remains unlikely, as Club Brugge has so far not accepted any sale for a price above 50 million euros.
