A €40 million Club Brugge attacker is now in direct talks with FC Barcelona, raising hopes of a high-profile summer acquisition.
The summer transfer window is reaching its final frantic stretch across Europe, and FC Barcelona are actively surveying top-tier options to reinforce their central attacking line.
With manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco seeking a dynamic long-term solution for the No. 9 position, the Catalan hierarchy has been forced to explore ambitious backup plans following persistent roadblocks in primary negotiations.
As initial target pursuits become financially complex, the club’s scouting unit has turned its focus toward Belgian football’s most prolific young sharpshooter.
The 21-year-old German U-21 international at the center of Catalonia’s transfer radar is Nicolo Tresoldi.
According to reports from journalist Victor Navarro of COPE, Barcelona have identified Tresoldi as a prime candidate after Atletico Madrid firmly shut the door on Julian Alvarez.
Having spearheaded Club Brugge to the Belgian Pro League title last season with an incredible return of 23 goals and 9 assists, the German striker has captured widespread admiration inside Spotify Camp Nou, with Flick holding excellent scouting reports from his time in Germany’s national youth setup.
While senior targets like Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez remain on the table, Tresoldi represents an enticing market opportunity.
Club Brugge currently demand a fee in excess of €40 million for their star forward, who is locked under contract until 2039.
Barcelona have already gathered extensive reports and established initial contact with the player’s camp to evaluate the operational feasibility of a summer move.
Having already scored against Barcelona in the Champions League, Tresoldi’s profile—combining link-up play, movement in tight spaces, and clinical box finishing—fits Flick’s tactical blueprint seamlessly.
As transfer deadline day draws closer, Deco and Barcelona’s sporting board are weighing whether to launch a formal bid to secure Germany’s rising star.
