AC Milan target Club Brugge striker Tresoldi after front‑page hype

AC Milan have the Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi (22) on their radar, after the Italian newspaper put him on the front page today. AC Milan's interest follows earlier rumours about Bayern Munich.

The young forward has been a fan of the Italian top club since childhood. He is a lifelong supporter of ‘I Rossoneri’.

The newspaper quotes the headline “Il Milan ci prova. Tresoldi subito.”, which loosely translates as “Milan makes a try. Tresoldi, immediately.” This underscores the urgency of the Italian club.

AC Milan could make good use of a prolific scorer. It is not illogical that they are thinking of Tresoldi.

Goal record and Champions League

The striker has started the season like a whirlwind; after seventeen matches across all competitions he has fourteen goals to his name, five of them in the Champions League. He scored a hat‑trick at the San Siro against Inter.

Financial and timing obstacles

It is doubtful whether AC Milan can afford Tresoldi, especially now that Club Brugge turned down a €35 million offer from AS Roma this summer. Club Brugge and AC Milan have previously acquired players such as Ardon Jashari and Charles De Ketelaere from the Belgian club.

Besides the price, there is another hurdle: AC Milan would prefer to bring the forward in already in January. For Club Brugge, a winter departure of their talisman is non‑negotiable.

Besides Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also on the list of clubs tracking Tresoldi; ahead of the Champions League match against Lens we reported that scouts from the English clubs were in the stands. Rumours from Germany suggest that the club of manager Vincent Kompany has placed Tresoldi on the shortlist as an alternative to Harry Kane.

Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane recently extended his contract until 2029 and will be 34 in July. Tresoldi holds German nationality, but can also represent Italy; he will decide after the U21 European Championship next summer.
