Mental test looms for Nicolò Tresoldi as top clubs circle
Nicolò Tresoldi, the 21‑year‑old striker who has already ‘played out’ the Jupiler Pro League, will remain at Club Brugge for another season despite a €35 million offer from AS Roma and interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, according to HLN31 and TaeckeClubwatcher.
He has recently had to do without his close friend Aleksandar Stankovic, who now wears the Inter shirt. The loss adds to the mental test Tresoldi faces as he prepares for the new season.
Last campaign he netted 23 goals, becoming the Jupiler Pro League top scorer and champion. He also scored three times in the Champions League, showing he can deliver on bigger stages.
Club Brugge’s chairman Bart Verhaeghe stated the club will keep Tresoldi for at least one more year, regardless of any offer. He added that even an extra €10 million would not change the decision. The board already has sufficient cash, and the pending Joel Ordonez transfer does not affect this stance.
Manchester United and Chelsea are reported to inquire weekly about the striker’s situation. Other elite clubs continue to monitor his progress, keeping the market interest alive.
