Arsenal trying to get ahead of pack with January offer – Gunners intent for man of moment

Arsenal planning January bid for Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi, but the Belgian club has ruled out a winter sale and want a record fee.

Arsenal are among several top European clubs pursuing Club Brugge's Nicolò Tresoldi and are preparing to make an offer in the January transfer window. The 22-year-old Germany U21 international has been exceptional this season with 12 goals from 14 matches, including two hat-tricks in his last three games. He moved to Belgium in 2025 and has impressed with 23 goals and nine assists overall.

Transfermarkt values Tresoldi at €35m, but Club Brugge are determined to secure a record fee. The Belgian club's current record sale is €40m from Christos Tzolis' move to Arsenal last July, and they want Tresoldi to break that mark. Belgian media suggests the fee could reach €40m, €50m, or €60m depending on the offer.

However, Club Brugge have made clear they will not sell in January for sporting reasons. An unnamed board member told Het Belang van Limburg: "There is and will be no price for Nicolò [for the next window]." While Arsenal appear to be leading the chase ahead of Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Atlético Madrid, a summer move is far more likely than a winter departure.
