Reports in Belgium suggest that Manchester United and Chelsea have made approaches for Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi, although neither Premier League club is currently expected to complete a move before the transfer window closes.
The 22-year-old has emerged as one of European football’s most closely watched young forwards following a prolific campaign in Belgium. Tresoldi scored 23 goals in all competitions last season, including a league-high 19 in the Belgian Pro League, with his performances attracting interest from a growing list of major clubs. Recent reports have also linked Barcelona to the German youth international, increasing the competition for his signature.
Manchester United and CHELSEA are understood to have monitored the situation closely, with Belgian reports suggesting contact has been made as both clubs assess their attacking options.
However, interest should not necessarily be interpreted as an imminent bid, and reports indicate that Club Brugge remain determined to keep their leading scorer. A €35 million offer from Roma was reportedly rejected earlier in the summer, underlining the Belgian club’s strong negotiating position.
Club Brugge are believed to value Tresoldi highly, particularly after his breakthrough season and with his contract reportedly running until 2029. Some reports have suggested that a significantly higher offer, potentially approaching €50 million, could be required to test the club’s resolve, although there is no indication that Manchester United or Chelsea have submitted a formal proposal.
For Manchester United, Tresoldi represents a potential long-term option rather than an immediate priority. Reports suggest the club are not expected to add another striker before the deadline, but the Club Brugge forward’s age, goalscoring record and potential for further development have made him a player of interest.
CHELSEA, meanwhile, have also been credited with an approach as they continue to monitor emerging attacking talent across Europe. The Blues’ reported interest comes despite their existing options in forward areas, suggesting any potential pursuit could be linked more to long-term planning than an urgent need for a deadline-day signing.
Tresoldi’s rise has been rapid since his move to Club Brugge, and his combination of finishing ability, mobility and physical presence has made him an increasingly attractive prospect. Barcelona have also recently been linked with the forward as the Spanish giants consider alternatives in their search for a new No.9
