Is Nicolò Tresoldi moving closer to Italy? The 2004-born striker, currently involved with the Germany Under-21 team, has not yet chosen which senior national team he wants to represent. However, the player revealed that he has spoken with both Jürgen Klopp and Roberto Mancini, suggesting that the possibility of wearing the Azzurri shirt remains very real. "I wear the Germany shirt with pride and I’m very happy to be here. I want to play in the U21 European Championship with Germany, then we’ll see what happens," Tresoldi explained.
What is making the biggest impact, above all, are his words about his connection to Italy. "It’s not just because my father is from Italy. I was born and raised there too," the striker underlined. Tresoldi then spoke about the conversation he had with Klopp: "I explained my situation to him and he understood. He told me the door will always be open." A similar message is also said to have come from Mancini, to whom Tresoldi said the same thing. For now, the player wants to focus on Germany U21 and the European Championship, but after the tournament the final choice between Germany and Italy could arrive, with the Azzurri therefore still waiting in the wings.
