Tresoldi: City eye Brugge striker as summer Haaland cover
The situation
Manchester City's interest in Nicolò Tresoldi is being framed as preparation for next summer, not January. The clearest claim, from Fichajes.net, is that City see the Club Brugge forward as their priority option to replace Erling Haaland if the Norwegian moves on, and are preparing a summer offer. Brugge are said to value him between €40m and €60m and have no plans to sell him this winter. Chelsea are repeatedly named as City's main rival, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and AC Milan all mentioned as admirers too, though none is said to be ahead of the others.
The reporting
Every outlet carrying this is a tabloid or an aggregator, and no trusted reporter has backed it. Fichajes.net's report was carried by Transfer News Live by 23 October, and the same story has since been passed along by outlets citing TEAMtalk, Sport Witness and others, all repeating rather than adding fresh detail. That is one voice echoed several times, not separate confirmation.
The outlook
For a January move, the chance is slim. Brugge are not selling in the winter window by their own stated position, and City's interest reads as scouting the ground for summer rather than building a January bid. Everything hinges on whether Haaland leaves and whether City then move for a replacement.
The context
Tresoldi joined Brugge from Hannover 96 for €7m in July 2025, and has 30 months left on his contract when the January window opens. His valuation now stands at €61m. The real trigger here is Haaland's situation at City, not anything Brugge do in January.
