Nicoló Tresoldi, a 22-year-old forward for Club Brugge, remains on the lists of both Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona in this transfer market. The Belgian club is willing to negotiate but has set their asking price at 50 million euros, an amount neither of the Spanish teams has reached yet.
The deal has become more expensive during the summer. Tresoldi's market value is around 25 million euros, while Club Brugge demands approximately double that to allow his departure before the market closes.

FC Barcelona showed concrete interest in recent days and explored a deal for the 21 y/o promising striker, but Barca were not willing to meet Club Brugge’s valuation of around €50m.

Club Brugge demands 50 million for Nicoló Tresoldi
FC Barcelona has made specific inquiries about Nicoló Tresoldi while exploring options for their forward line. The difficulty in signing Julián Álvarez led the blaugrana's sporting direction to consider other forwards, with the German entering that selection.
Brugge's financial response has halted any progress. The Belgian club demands 50 million euros for a player under contract until June 2029, a contractual position that allows them to maintain their valuation during these final market hours.
Tresoldi also boasts statistics that have increased his value. The forward ended the past Belgian league with 19 goals and has started the new season with 3 goals in his first three matches of the championship, maintaining a goal per game average during that period.
Barcelona still needs to address the center forward position in the medium term. The departure of Robert Lewandowski left a specific gap within the squad, and the sporting direction has explored other possibilities, including Gabriel Jesús, who is already in Barcelona to sign for the Blaugrana.

Atlético de Madrid keeps Tresoldi as an option
Atlético de Madrid had previously shown interest in Nicoló Tresoldi, but the operation's cost limited their chances. Contacts were made during the summer when the forward's valuation was lower than what his club currently demands.
The situation of Julián Álvarez could change this scenario. A sale of the Argentine would provide financial leeway and create a direct vacancy in Diego Pablo Simeone's attack, although his continuity has gained prominence in the final hours of the market.
Meanwhile, Atlético has opted for a different financial approach to bolster their position. Jonathan David has emerged as an alternative through a loan from Juventus, an operation requiring an immediate investment lower than the 50 million requested for Tresoldi.
The price is thus the main obstacle for the two Spanish clubs. A few weeks ago, estimates for a possible departure of the forward revolved around 45 million euros, but Brugge has increased their stance to 50 million in the final phase of the market.
With the deadline set for September 1, any move for Nicoló Tresoldi demands that Atlético de Madrid or FC Barcelona align with Brugge's valuation. If neither adjusts their financial stance before the deadline, the forward will remain in Belgium under contract until 2029, and his future will remain open for upcoming transfer windows.
