BVB back in the race? Tresoldi move to Roma collapses | OneFootball

After just one year at Club Brugge, Nicolò Tresoldi is planning the next step in his career. But now the 21-year-old centre-forward has to cope with a bitter setback: his preferred club has pulled out. Is this now Borussia Dortmund’s moment?

Tresoldi has enjoyed an almost meteoric rise. In the summer of 2025, the German-Italian moved from second-division side Hannover 96 to Club Brugge for €7.5 million. With the renowned Belgian club, he won the league title in his very first year.

Despite being under contract until 2029, all signs point to a departure. With 23 goals and nine assists in 58 appearances for the Blue-Blacks, Tresoldi attracted the interest of numerous top clubs. BVB also made a serious push for the attacking player, who did not miss a single game for his club last season.

However, AS Roma seemed set to win the race. Tresoldi reached an agreement with the Giallorossi. A move to the Eternal City appeared to be only a matter of hours.

Other options needed

But the transfer was far from a done deal. The Belgians rejected an offer worth €35 million. Although the striker’s value is listed at €25 million by transfermarkt.de, Brugge clearly did not consider the amount sufficient.

Now, according to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, Roma have slammed on the brakes. Talks between the two clubs have ended with immediate effect, it was reported on X. Instead, the Italians have opted to sign Santiago Castro (21). They put the mentioned €35 million on the table for the Bologna forward. Tresoldi must now look elsewhere.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Germany U21 international has also basically reached agreements with Borussia Dortmund and Atlético Madrid. However, both clubs only want to make a move for Tresoldi once they have created space in attack.
