Capello backs Milan move for Tresoldi: ‘They only had one Italian on the pitch at Genoa’Fabio Capello believes Nicolò Tresoldi would be a good signing for Milan, and he has questioned the lack of Italian players in the Rossoneri side.Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via MilanNews.it, the former Rossoneri player and coach backed the Club Brugge striker to succeed at San Siro, as Gerry Cardinale considers a January move.“Tresoldi could do well at Milan, definitely,” Capello said. “He could also decide to play for Italy, and that would be great too.“I’ll tell you something: the other day I was watching Genoa-Milan, and Milan started with only one Italian on the pitch. And with that, I’ve said it all.”ITALY – OCTOBER 28: Alphadjo Cisse celebrates scoring his team’s first goal during the Serie A match at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on October 28, 2026 in Italy.
