Tresoldi’s form this season
The German-born Italian has already found the net 12 times in 14 appearances across all competitions this term, elevating his profile well beyond Belgium. His contributions in the Champions League have been particularly notable, putting him in the same conversation as the competition’s leading scorers alongside Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. A standout moment came in October when he completed a hat-trick against Inter Milan, underscoring his ability to deliver against elite opposition. He has also registered goals in domestic fixtures, including a strike against Aston Villa.
Club Brugge’s position and contract details
Club Brugge has signaled they do not intend to part with Tresoldi in the January window and would prefer to retain him for the remainder of the season. The forward is on a contract that runs until 2029, which strengthens Brugge’s negotiating leverage and suggests any potential move could be targeted for the summer transfer window rather than a mid-season sale.
His long-term deal also means clubs interested in Tresoldi may have to pay a substantial fee next summer if Brugge decides to sell. Links have connected the striker with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, indicating significant competition for his signature should a transfer progress to that stage.
Why Arsenal and Manchester United are interested
Arsenal view Tresoldi as a potential long-term addition to sustain competition within their attacking ranks. The Gunners have previously done business with Club Brugge, signing Christos Tzolis, and may see value in pursuing another highly rated talent from the Belgian side.
Manchester United are also keen to bolster their forward options. Sources point to Tresoldi’s movement, finishing ability and age as appealing traits for a club seeking depth in attack and a player capable of developing into a regular scorer at the highest level.
Market implications and what comes next
For now, Brugge’s stance means any January departure is unlikely. If interest persists, the conversation is expected to shift toward a potential summer transfer, with a hefty price tag likely on the table given Tresoldi’s form and contract length. With Tottenham and Chelsea among the clubs previously linked, Arsenal and United could face stiff competition when talks move forward, contingent on Brugge’s valuation and Tresoldi’s ongoing performances.
As the season progresses, monitoring Tresoldi’s form in both domestic and European competition will be crucial for clubs weighing a move. Brugge’s response to sustained interest will also shape how aggressively teams pursue him next summer.
