Mancini pushes for Italian nationality for Nicolò Tresoldi

Roberto Mancini, the head coach of Italy, is pushing for a place for the 22‑year‑old Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi, while the young forward is still undecided between Germany and Italy; he hopes that in June he will feel 51 percent Italian. Germany Mancini and Nicolò Tresoldi hopefully are named as such.

Club performances and youth record

This season, Tresoldi has already scored five goals in nine matches for Club Brugge, strengthening the attack of the blue‑black team. His productivity makes him one of the top scorers in the Jupiler Pro League.

At international level, he has netted twelve goals in twenty‑four U21 internationals for Germany, an impressive record in the youth categories. These figures show his effectiveness in the youth selections.

Mancini’s approach and future outlook

Tresoldi was born in Italy but moved as a baby to Germany, where he went through all the youth teams. Because he has not yet played an official senior international, the door to Italy remains ajar. He wants to make his definitive choice only after the U21 European Championship in June 2027. The media sometimes use the spelling Nicolo Tresoldi.

Bergomi says Mancini’s old ideas keep Italy behind Serie A’s aggression

During the Italian press conference before the Nations League match against the Red Devils, Mancini confirmed that he had spoken with the young striker. “He said that he cannot make a decision now, because he promised the U21 coach to play for Germany at the European Championship in June,” the head coach said. “He feels 50 percent Italian and 50 percent German; hopefully 51 percent Italian and 49 percent German in June.”

The overview of Football, Tennis, Formula, Programme and the Jupiler Pro League, Challenger Pro League, Champions League, Europa League and Conference League provides a complete picture of the sports calendar, while Nations League actions continue to attract attention. More football is discussed daily on various platforms.

Whether Tresoldi’s move to Jan Breydel, far from both Italian and German pressure, helps him cut the knot, will only become clear next summer. Italy is ready to welcome him with open arms.
