Chelsea and Manchester City launching 'bidding war' for striker – €50m starting price

Chelsea and Manchester City are tracking Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, who is valued at €50m but unlikely to leave until summer.

Nicolo Tresoldi has attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester City after impressing for Club Brugge over the last two seasons. The Belgian club have received information requests from both Premier League sides, who are reportedly preparing to enter a bidding war for the 23-year-old striker.

Club Brugge have set an initial asking price of €50m but have made clear they have no intention of selling in January. The club plan to execute a record sale in the summer and expect Tresoldi's valuation to rise further depending on his performances. His recent hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League has already elevated his profile significantly.

Arsenal have also been linked with the forward, though sources in Germany have rejected the idea of a January move. Juventus and AC Milan are also monitoring the situation, but the two Manchester clubs are currently leading the chase.
