The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has set its sights on one of the most promising gems in European football. According to the German newspaper BILD, the world champion national team has already contacted Nicolo Tresoldi, the 21-year-old forward shining at Club Brugge, to ask about his willingness to wear the Albiceleste shirt after the 2026 World Cup.

A talent with mixed roots

Tresoldi has a multicultural background: he was born in Cagliari, Italy, and moved to Germany at 13, where he has represented the country at the Under-19 and Under-21 levels. However, his connection to Argentina comes through his mother, which gives him citizenship and legally opens the door to switching federations.

Germany’s talent “exodus”

For the German national team, this interest is another warning sign. After losing players like Kenan Yildiz and Can Uzun, the possible departure of Tresoldi deepens a negative run in talent recruitment. Argentina, meanwhile, is looking to secure the future of its attack with this highly promising striker.
