Club Brugge dreams of a 50‑million jackpot after Tresoldi hat‑trick

On a warm Wednesday evening in Milan, Club Brugge saw Inter Milan overwhelmed with a spectacular 3‑4‑victory, driven by a hat‑trick from the 21‑year‑old striker Nicolò Tresoldi at the legendary San Siro. It was a dream that the young German‑Italian had cherished as a child, and it immediately gave the Blue Black three crucial Champions League points.

International interest in the striker

After the hat‑trick, both the Squadra Azzurra‑coach Roberto Mancini and the German U21‑coach spoke about Tresoldi’s national future. Mancini, who was questioned on 23 September, said he hopes the player will feel 51 percent Italian and 49 percent German in June. The German prospects have already received a call‑up for the U21 European Championship, making the battle for his senior‑national team future more intense.

The Italian press also focused on the performance, with the name Tresoldi now synonymous with a possible breakthrough on the international stage. Despite being born in Cagliari, he moved to Germany at the age of fourteen, which further fuels the discussion about his nationality.

Financial implications for Club Brugge

Club Brugge is now looking not only at the sporting impact, but also at the financial potential. After the summer transfer of Christos Tzolis to Arsenal for €40 million, the club is determined to achieve a new record fee. Tresoldi is currently valued on Transfermarkt at €35 million, an assessment that dates from before his hat‑trick.

Sources report that the current market value of the striker, according to the CIES observatory, lies between €54 and €63 million. With a tally of 9 goals for Brugge (including 4 in the Champions League) and 4 for the German U21, a minimum of €50 million is cited as a realistic starting figure for a possible transfer.

The club previously refused to accept a €35 million bid from AS Roma, demonstrating that Brugge takes a strong negotiating position. Recently, interest and concrete steps were also reported from clubs such as Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, Barcelona and Manchester United, although none of these has led to a formal offer.
