BVB no chance? Tresoldi keeps getting pricier | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund had recently been considered a candidate to sign Nicolo Tresoldi. Especially if one of the club’s attacking players leaves.

But the youngster, who has developed superbly, is becoming more and more expensive. And that could become a problem.

As the English outlet teamtalk reports, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are both said to have taken a personal look at the striker recently. Representatives of both clubs were reportedly in the stands for Club Brugge’s away match at Aston Villa on September 15. Tresoldi did not register a goal contribution, but he is still said to have impressed.

That noticeably changes the situation for BVB. Back in the summer, Brugge were reportedly asking for around €50 million — a sum Dortmund could in principle have afforded, especially since exactly that amount was recently on the table for Said El Mala. But if top English clubs now enter the race, then €50 million is unlikely to be the end of it.

Tresoldi’s form is also driving the price up further. After recording 31 goal contributions last season, the striker already has five goals in the current campaign. The longer he maintains this form, the more attractive he becomes on the market — and the more expensive for all interested clubs.

Why BVB cannot act freely when it comes to Tresoldi

Recently, Tresoldi was no longer at the very top of Dortmund’s list anyway. An additional striker was still considered possible, but it depended mainly on whether another forward would leave the current squad. Fabio Silva had been mentioned as a possible departure candidate, apparently because he was seeking more starts. But now he is also getting more playing time.

There is also some history behind why a Tresoldi transfer remains complicated. BVB had already made a serious push for the striker before a well-advanced move to AS Roma ultimately fell through. Even then, Brugge refused to consider a cheap deal and turned down an offer of €35 million. His contract, which runs until 2029, further strengthens the Belgians’ negotiating position.

Tresoldi was not the only name on Dortmund’s list anyway. Fisnik Asllani and Nick Woltemade were also mentioned as possible attacking options. So BVB had not pinned all their hopes solely on the Brugge striker.

From a sporting perspective, Tresoldi remains an attractive option for Dortmund — born in Cagliari, developed in Hannover 96’s academy, and currently in top form. How affordable the striker will ultimately be for BVB may also depend on a possible sale of Yan Couto, which would bring money into the club’s coffers.
