Key Takeaways:
- Barcelona showed significant interest in signing Nicolò Tresoldi at the last days of the summer transfer window
- The move failed to materialise, with Barcelona unwilling to match Club Brugge’s €50m asking price
- Tresoldi has since scored 16 goals for Club Brugge this season, including 3 hat-tricks in 4 weeks
Barcelona’s Forward Search Intensifies
Throughout the latest summer transfer window, Barcelona made concerted efforts to add firepower to Hansi Flick’s squad, having seen Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres depart. Julián Alvarez emerged as their primary target, with Joan Laporta publicly confirming the club’s interest on several occasions. However, despite these efforts, the Catalan side ultimately failed to secure a new striker. As a result, Raphinha has since been repurposed as a central striker to address the gap.
🚨📈 3 hat-tricks in 4 weeks. 16 goals this season. Nicolo Tresoldi is in top form at Club Brugge.
Decision between Germany and Italy for his international future remains open. For now, one thing is clear: he wants to represent Germany at the U21 EURO in summer 2027.
Arsenal and other top clubs remain keen on him – also for January.
Barcelona showed concrete interest in the days leading up to the last deadline day, but were not willing to meet Club Brugge’s valuation of around €50m.
