Jürgen Klopp Addresses Nicolò Tresoldi’s Germany Or Italy Decision

Germany national team manager Jürgen Klopp is taking a relaxed approach toward the international future of 22-year-old Club Brugge forward Nicolò Tresoldi, stating that the federation does not need to chase anyone to secure their allegiance.

Klopp Discusses Tresoldi and the National Team Decision

Speaking to DAZN on Wednesday evening, Klopp addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding whether Tresoldi will represent Germany or Italy at the senior international level. The 59-year-old manager emphasized that the player must choose freely when the time is right, adding that such a scenario is “absolut fein” (absolutely fine).

While clarifying that his stance was not directed specifically at Tresoldi, Klopp maintained a firm philosophical line regarding recruitment for the four-time World Cup winners. “You don’t have to run after anyone,” Klopp said, noting that trying to persuade a player to suit up for Germany “can’t really be right” and stressing that the team is not currently in a position where such measures are necessary.

Previous Conversations and the Timeline Until 2027

Like Italy head coach Roberto Mancini, Klopp confirmed that he has already held discussions with the young forward to discuss his international path. Both managers have made their interest clear, but Klopp reiterated that he will ultimately accept whichever path the player chooses.

Tresoldi, who was born on the island of Sardinia, has drawn attention following standout performances for both Club Brugge and the German under-21 national team. Despite this mounting interest, the forward has publicly stated that he will not make a definitive choice between Germany and Italy until after the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the summer of 2027.

Evaluating the Rising Star’s Potential

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his senior national team future, Klopp offered high praise for the forward’s recent trajectory in professional football. “Nico is a great boy who has undergone a super development and still has a lot of development potential,” Klopp told DAZN.

With the under-21 European tournament still seasons away, the forward retains ample time to assess his career goals before committing to a senior national federation.
