Nicolo Tresoldi has become one of the options being considered by FC Barcelona in this transfer market to strengthen their attack. The 22-year-old forward from Club Brugge is under contract until 2029, and the Belgian club is now placing a possible negotiation around 50 million euros.

The scenario has changed after Club Brugge turned down a 35 million euro bid from AS Roma. The entry of Barcelona and interest from several Premier League clubs have increased the competition for a forward who finished last season with 19 goals in the Belgian league.

Nicolo Tresoldi now has a price tag for FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona keeps Nicolo Tresoldi among the options for the center forward position while also focusing on other targets. The German arrived at Club Brugge in the summer of 2025 from Hannover 96 for around 7.5 million euros, and his performance has significantly increased his value.

Initially, the Belgian club had shown reluctance to negotiate his departure, evident in their rejection of the 35 million euros offered by AS Roma, a sum that did not alter their plans during the early weeks of the summer.

Now, the economic reference approaches 50 million euros. Belgian media place this figure as the starting point for a potential deal, although Club Brugge maintains a strong position due to Tresoldi's contract running until June 2029.

His numbers justify the price increase. Tresoldi ended the last Belgian league campaign with 19 goals and has emerged as one of the young forwards garnering significant attention in the European market. Barcelonahas other alternatives, such as American Balogun from AS Monaco.

Manchester United and Chelsea increase the competition

The issue for Barcelona is that they are no longer alone in this pursuit. Manchester United and Chelsea are monitoring Tresoldi's situation and have been linked to potential moves to ascertain the conditions set by Club Brugge before the end of August.

Both English clubs have the financial means to approach the 50 million euros mark, forcing Barcelona to carefully consider any progress. The Premier League competition could complicate what initially seemed like a more cost-effective deal compared to other forwards on Barcelona's radar.

Tresoldi's age is also in his favor. At 22 years old, he brings room for development and already has experience as a starter in Belgium, in addition to his time in the youth ranks of Germany.

His name emerges as Barcelona continues to assess the future of Julián Álvarez. The Argentine remains a key consideration for the sports management, but challenges in progressing with Atlético have led the club to explore alternative options to enhance their attack in LaLiga.

The coming days will be crucial for Nicolo Tresoldi. FC Barcelona must decide whether they will meet the approximately 50 million euros that Club Brugge may demand, while Manchester United and Chelsea keep the competition alive before the close of LaLiga's transfer window.
