Manchester City Monitoring Club Brugge’s Nikolo Tresoldi Amidst January Transfer Window
Hugo Viana and his team are looking for attacking reinforcements as soon as January 2027. Club Brugge’s Nikolo Tresoldi has emerged as a target after displaying strong performances in Belgium’s Pro League.
Tresoldi, 22, had an impressive debut season, scoring 23 goals and providing seven assists in 58 matches, contributing to Club Brugge’s title win. His success has drawn interest from top leagues across Europe.
The Germany U21 international was born in Cagliari, Italy, to an Italian father and an Argentine mother. He joined Club Brugge from Hannover 96 in June 2025 on a contract that lasts until 2029.
This season, Tresoldi has continued to excel, netting 14 goals in just 17 games, five of which have come in the UEFA Champions League. Notably, he recorded a hat-trick in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Inter Milan at San Siro in October.
Additionally, he converted a penalty against Aston Villa in September, during a time when representatives from Manchester United and Tottenham reportedly scouted him in Belgium.
Man City Face Summer Wait as Club Brugge Refuse January 2027 Sale
According to reports from HLN and shared by Get Football News Bene, Manchester City, along with Manchester United, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich, have expressed interest in acquiring Tresoldi. However, there appears to be minimal chance of any club securing his transfer from the Jan Breydel Stadium in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Club Brugge adheres to a policy of not selling their key players during January, making it unlikely for any of the interested parties to persuade the club to part with their star striker this season.
Clubs aiming to sign Tresoldi will need to wait until next summer when HLN predicts that Club Brugge will seek a substantial fee, as they have become adept at extracting significant amounts from buyers during summer transfer windows.
Furthermore, Club Brugge considers retaining Tresoldi essential for their ambitions to defend their Pro League title, compete for the domestic cup, and progress deep into the Champions League this season.
In the meantime, Manchester City’s attacking options have been challenged due to the absence of Antoine Semenyo, who has been ruled out for approximately eight weeks because of a knee injury sustained against Ipswich Town in October, with expectations for his return before the year ends.
Heading into the international break, City faced a challenging run, experiencing three consecutive Premier League losses and trailing leaders Arsenal by six points. Manager Enzo Maresca has committed to addressing these issues during the two-week break.
With Tresoldi registering 14 goals in 17 games this season, his valuation is likely to rise further before the summer. Clubs like Manchester City will be monitoring his development from a distance for the time being.
Looking ahead, Manchester City will return from the international break at home against Fulham on November 21, followed by a Champions League match against Napoli on November 24, and a Premier League fixture against defending champions Arsenal on November 29.
