Nicolò Tresoldi, a 22-year-old forward from Club Brugge, is at the top of Atlético Madrid's transfer agenda to replace Julián Álvarez if the Argentine ends up leaving the club in 2027. The red and white team has been monitoring the attacker for months, but his signing could reach up to 70 million euros, the amount demanded by the Belgian entity to negotiate.

Nicolò Tresoldi gains strength in light of Julián Álvarez's possible departure

The future of Julián Álvarez continues to raise uncertainty at the Metropolitano. The Argentine maintains his interest in playing for FC Barcelona, a situation that forces Atlético's sports management to consider possible alternatives for their forward line. Julián Álvarez's new strategy to sign for Barcelona.

One of these alternatives is Nicolò Tresoldi, whose name has been appearing in Atlético's reports for months. Last July, there were already reports of contacts to assess the conditions of a deal that was then valued around 30 million euros.

The player's performance has significantly changed the scenario. Tresoldi has scored 8 goals in 10 matches between the Belgian league and the Champions League during the 2026/27 season, not counting other competitions.

His most recent performance came on October 13th, when he scored a hat-trick against Inter Milan in Brugge's 3-4 victory at San Siro. His three goals increased the attention on a forward who had also scored against Aston Villa in Europe.

Atlético was already familiar with his capabilities from the previous season. Tresoldi ended the 2025/26 season with 19 goals and 5 assists in 40 matches in the Belgian league, figures that explain his presence in the list of possible offensive reinforcements.

Club Brugge demands 70 million euros for Nicolò Tresoldi

The main obstacle for Atlético Madrid lies in Brugge's financial demands. According to reports on his future, the Belgian club does not intend to negotiate a departure for less than 70 million euros.

Furthermore, Tresoldi is under contract until June 30, 2029, with no buyout clause that would allow his signing for a pre-established amount. Therefore, the price will depend on negotiations between the clubs.

The evolution of his valuation reflects the increase in economic expectations. During the summer, figures close to 45-50 million were mentioned, whereas current demands reach 70 million. His estimated market value is around 25 million.

Atlético is not the only team that has been monitoring the player. FC Barcelona has also shown interest in the forward, who joined the Belgian club from Hannover 96 in the summer of 2025.

Julián's future makes Atlético hesitant

Álvarez's situation will be crucial for any developments. The Argentine is under contract until 2030, and Atlético has publicly stated their refusal to negotiate his transfer to Barcelona.

There is currently no formal offer for Nicolò Tresoldi. The next step for Atlético will be to assess whether to turn this monitoring into a financial proposal for 2027, especially if Julián Álvarez's departure is confirmed.
