Nicolo Tresoldi and Nathan de Cat unlikely to join BVB | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are linked with a host of players in every transfer window, but in the end only a fraction of them actually pull on the black-and-yellow shirt. Right now too, Nicolo Tresoldi and Nathan de Cat—two players currently being discussed as potential signings—can probably be crossed off BVB’s shortlist.

Since spring, BVB had repeatedly been mentioned as an interested party for Tresoldi, who only moved from Hannover 96 to Club Brugge last summer for €7.5 million, but has significantly increased his market value there once again. The German-Italian, born in Cagliari, has scored 12 goals in 24 matches for Germany’s U21 side and has also already been mentioned in connection with the senior national team. He has recorded 23 goals and nine assists in 58 competitive appearances for Brugge.

Tresoldi has particularly drawn plenty of attention with his three goals in the Champions League and has been linked with several major international clubs. Alongside BVB, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid were also among the clubs mentioned. For now, though, the trail of the 21-year-old seems to be leading to Italy. As Gazzetta dello Sport reports, Tresoldi has reached an agreement with AS Roma. Whether the two clubs can find common ground on the transfer fee, with around €25 million being discussed, remains to be seen.

Hoffenheim agree with de Cat

RSC Anderlecht are also said to be asking around €25 million for Nathan de Cat, which is why BVB no longer seem to be pushing to sign the 17-year-old midfield talent. De Cat, who has also been linked with Bayern Munich, could still end up playing at Signal Iduna Park next season—only in a TSG Hoffenheim shirt.

According to information from Sky, Hoffenheim have already agreed personal terms with de Cat on a contract running until 2031. However, an initial offer from the club from Kraichgau worth €15.5 million in transfer fee is unlikely to be enough to get the deal done.
