Atlético Madrid have entered the battle to sign Nicolo Tresoldi, intensifying competition for the German Under-21 international striker. Sky reports that Diego Simeone's side now compete alongside Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur for the 21-year-old's signature from Club Brugge.
Tresoldi has impressed dramatically since joining the Belgian club last summer for €7.5 million. The forward has delivered 19 goals and 7 assists across 56 competitive matches, establishing himself as one of Europe's most promising young talents. His contract extends until 2029, though Club Brugge are reportedly demanding around €30 million to part with their prized asset.
Milan Dream Over Madrid Move
Despite Atlético's interest, Tresoldi harbours different ambitions. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, the striker revealed his true target: "The dream of playing for Milan is in my head. I think about it every morning when I get up. That's the dream that drives me to work hard every day." Born in Cagliari to an Argentine mother and Italian father before relocating to Germany in 2017, Tresoldi has represented only the German national team at youth level, currently scoring 12 goals in 24 appearances for the Under-21s.
At Atlético, Tresoldi would challenge Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sörloth for a starting berth upfront. With Antoine Griezmann departing for Orlando City this summer, Simeone seeks attacking reinforcements to maintain La Liga's competitive edge. Tresoldi's prolific form has led some analysts to suggest he deserves consideration for Julian Nagelsmann's German World Cup plans, adding further intrigue to his unfolding transfer saga.
