Nicolo Tresoldi: Chelsea and Manchester City send officials and €50m battle on way

Chelsea and Manchester City are among several clubs scouting Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, who has 14 goals in 16 games this season; his valuation has risen to €50m.

Nicolo Tresoldi, a 23-year-old striker at Club Brugge, has become a target for multiple top European clubs following an impressive season that includes 14 goals in 16 games across all competitions. His standout moment came with a hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League, helping Brugge to a 4-3 victory.

Chelsea and Manchester City have emerged as the most prominent suitors, with both clubs having sent scouts to watch Tresoldi multiple times. Arsenal, Tottenham, Juventus and AC Milan are also in the race, with Milan viewing him as a transfer priority. Brugge's valuation has climbed to at least €50m, up from a previous range of €25m–€30m, and could rise further in coming weeks.

Brugge are resisting a January sale for now, but an international auction is expected soon. English clubs are seen as having a financial advantage in the pursuit, though both Chelsea and Manchester City currently have established strikers in their squads.
