Manchester United is keeping close tabs on Nicolò Tresoldi, Club Brugge’s breakout striker. The 21-year-old forward has turned heads across Europe with 19 goals and 5 assists in 40 appearances during the 2025/26 season.

The Tresoldi file

Born in Cagliari, Italy, on August 20, 2004, Tresoldi is a German U21 international who stands 1.86 meters tall. He’s the kind of center-forward scouts describe as having both clinical finishing and physical presence.

His path to Brugge started at Hannover 96, where he scored 14 goals in 77 appearances across all competitions. Club Brugge spent an estimated €7 to €7.5 million to bring him to Belgium in July 2025.

In a single season, Tresoldi nearly matched his entire Hannover 96 goal tally, putting 19 in the net while adding 5 assists. AS Roma reportedly tabled a €35 million offer for Tresoldi, which Club Brugge rejected in July 2026.

Why United wants in now

Manchester United’s scouting interest was reported by Belgian journalist Tomas Taecke and the Belgian outlet Het Laatste Nieuws. Tresoldi’s market value currently sits somewhere between €24.5 million and €40 million depending on the source, and Brugge has already turned down €35 million.

Tresoldi’s contract runs until June 2029, meaning Club Brugge has no pressure to sell. Any club that wants Tresoldi will need to make an offer that Brugge simply can’t refuse.

The competitive landscape

Roma’s rejected €35 million bid establishes a pricing benchmark, telling us that Brugge values Tresoldi at something north of that figure. If United enters negotiations, expect the conversation to start well above €35 million.

Tresoldi went from a €7.5 million acquisition to a player whose club rejected a €35 million bid in roughly one year. Nineteen goals in 40 appearances, combined with his age profile and performances for Germany’s U21 squad, underpin that valuation increase.
