​Roma appear to have pinpointed a receptive target in their pursuit of attacking reinforcements, with Nicolò Tresoldi eager to move to the capital and a potential unlikely ally in their corner. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, reported via RomaPress, momentum behind a transfer is growing as Tresoldi himself pushes to join the club. In a notable development, one of Roma’s own players could prove decisive: the Club Brugge striker has recently spoken by phone with midfielder Nicolò Pisilli, a friendship that began at the youth levels and could help bridge negotiations.
The maneuver comes amid Roma’s need for a dependable deputy to Donyell Malen, who has become central to Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking system. Tresoldi fits the profile the club are after—a Cagliari-born forward with German and Italian roots who enjoyed a prolific season in Belgium, scoring more than 20 goals across all competitions as Club Brugge clinched the title. His performances have caught the eye beyond Belgium, with Atletico Madrid and Arsenal both credited with interest, underscoring the growing attention Tresoldi is receiving on the European stage.
Club Brugge, for their part, have set an asking price of around €30 million. The Roma recruitment team will need to spend the coming days attempting to persuade the Belgian side to soften that valuation, all while also considering potential outbound movements to facilitate a bid. The financial landscape will likely require Roma to offload players or restructure their squad before any agreement can be finalized, a reality that could influence the timing and structure of a potential deal.
Tresoldi’s profile is bolstered by his versatility and his ability to operate in multiple attacking roles, which aligns with Gasperini’s tactical needs. His experience in a title-winning campaign in Belgium demonstrates the consistency and impact Roma are seeking as they reinforce their attack. If a deal progresses, Tresoldi would bring a dynamic blend of pace, movement, and goal threat that could complement Malen and broaden Roma’s attacking options.
As negotiations unfold, Roma will also be mindful of the broader market dynamics and competing interest from European clubs. A successful transfer would require careful negotiation to meet Club Brugge’s valuation while ensuring Roma’s budgetary constraints are respected. The coming days appear pivotal as Roma weigh their options, balance potential sales, and determine whether Tresoldi is the right fit to bolster their forward line and contribute to their ambitions in the season ahead.
