Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi has emerged as a primary target for AC Milan ahead of the January transfer window, though the Belgian club’s high valuation complicates any immediate move, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport as reported by VoetbalPrimeur.be.
The 22-year-old forward drew intense European attention following a strong run of form that includes five goals in the UEFA Champions League. Voetbalkrant.com reported that Tresoldi secured a 1-0 away victory for Club Brugge against PSV Eindhoven with a header last week, cementing his status as the competition’s joint-top scorer.
AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is pushing to sign the forward during the winter window, with manager Rúben Amorim reportedly considering a tactical setup featuring Tresoldi alongside Gonçalo Ramos, according to VoetbalPrimeur.be. The Italian outlet said that a transfer could command a fee of approximately vijftig miljoen euros, though Club Brugge previously rejected a 35 million euro bid from AS Roma last summer.
Club Brugge has adopted a firm stance against a winter departure, holding a strong contractual position with the player tied to a deal through mid-2029, VoetbalNieuws.be reported. Transferexpert Nicolò Schira indicated via social media that the Belgian club has communicated an increased asking price of 60 to 70 million euros to deter potential suitors.
Alongside AC Milan, Premier League side Arsenal is considering a January bid for the 21-year-old forward, according to Voetbalkrant.com. Additional scouting interest has materialized from clubs including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, FC Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid, according to reports from Voetbalkrant.com and VoetbalNieuws.be.
Tresoldi has recorded 14 goals in 17 official appearances this season following a breakthrough after the winter break last campaign, when he established himself as a regular starter and top scorer in the Jupiler Pro League, VoetbalNieuws.be reported. International interest has also surfaced from both the German and Italian national team setups regarding his prospective senior allegiance.
Whether AC Milan or other interested clubs will test Club Brugge’s resolve with a formal bid when the transfer window opens in January remains undetermined.
