Club Brugge reportedly plan to block any transfer for striker Nicolò Tresoldi during the January 2027 window, despite growing interest from Premier League and European clubs. According to reporting by Het Laatste Nieuws, the Belgian side wants to keep the 22-year-old forward for the rest of the 2026/27 season and consider a possible record sale in summer 2027. The report says Club Brugge does not want to commit to a fixed transfer fee yet. However, the club has not publicly confirmed the decision, so the January stance should be treated as media reporting rather than an official announcement.
Where the €60 million figure came from
Recent stories in Italy and the United Kingdom have put Tresoldi’s potential transfer value at around €60 million. A report by VoetbalNieuws attributes the valuation to Italian transfer journalist Nicolò Schira. However, Club Brugge have not publicly confirmed a €60 million asking price.
The original report from Het Laatste Nieuws, carried by VoetbalPrimeur, discusses possible summer outcomes of €45 million, €50 million or even €60 million. These figures represent potential future transfer fees rather than a confirmed club valuation. According to the report, Club Brugge want Tresoldi to continue developing over the rest of the season before deciding when and at what price to sell him.
Champions League hat-trick and scoring form
Transfer talk around Tresoldi grew rapidly after his performance at San Siro on 13 October 2026. According to UEFA’s official match record, Tresoldi scored a hat-trick as Club Brugge beat Inter Milan 3-4 in the Champions League. He converted a penalty and scored twice more, helping his side secure a memorable away victory.
That performance added to the attention surrounding his scoring record in Belgium. According to Club Brugge’s official player profile, the forward joined from German side Hannover 96 in June 2025 and signed a contract running until 2029.
Tresoldi enjoyed a productive first season in Belgium in 2025/26. Roma Press reported that he scored 23 goals and provided nine assists in 58 appearances across all competitions. His league scoring record also helped establish him as one of Belgian football’s most prominent young forwards.
With several years remaining on his contract, Club Brugge have little reason to rush into a sale during the middle of the season. Keeping him until summer would give the club more time to assess his development and the level of interest from potential buyers.
What is known about Arsenal and Tottenham interest
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with Tresoldi. A Sport Witness report discussed interest from both Premier League clubs following his Champions League hat-trick.
Other reports have also linked Tresoldi with AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Atlético Madrid. The growing list of interested clubs reflects the attention that his performances have attracted, although the extent of each club’s interest remains difficult to establish independently.
Neither Arsenal nor Tottenham has publicly confirmed a bid for Tresoldi. Reports of scouting activity and possible contacts should therefore be treated as transfer speculation rather than evidence that negotiations are under way.
For Club Brugge, interest from several clubs could help strengthen their position in any future negotiations. A bidding contest in summer 2027 would give the Belgian side a better chance of securing a fee that matches its expectations.
Why summer 2027 makes more sense for a deal
When Club Brugge eventually consider offers for Tresoldi, they reportedly want to secure a fee that exceeds the Belgian transfer record. TEAMtalk reporting republished by LiveScore has discussed the club’s reported ambition to achieve a record sale.
The club’s stance also follows interest from AS Roma during the summer of 2026. According to Football Italia’s report on the proposed deal, Club Brugge rejected an offer reported to be worth €35 million. The coverage cited reporting from Italian newspaper Il Tempo and Belgian transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
The reported rejection suggests that Club Brugge believe Tresoldi’s value could rise further. His performances in domestic competition and the Champions League could strengthen that position over the coming months, particularly if further clubs enter the race.
The financial arrangements surrounding his transfer may also influence the eventual sale. German newspaper Neue Presse reported on Tresoldi’s potential value to Hannover 96, including a reported arrangement under which Hannover could receive a share of the profit from a future transfer.
The exact contractual terms are not publicly available, so the reported financial arrangements should be treated with caution. Nevertheless, any sell-on provision would be relevant when assessing how much Club Brugge could retain from a major transfer fee.
Waiting until summer would also allow the club to plan for a replacement rather than lose an important attacking player midway through the campaign. A January departure could disrupt their domestic ambitions and their progress in European competition, especially if they cannot find a suitable replacement before the window closes.
Why Club Brugge want to keep him until summer
At the time of writing this article, Club Brugge sit second in the Belgian Pro League with 21 points from eight matches, one point behind KAA Gent. Their domestic position gives them a strong reason to keep their main attacking options available as the season progresses.
In the Champions League, Club Brugge have collected six points from three matches. After losing their opening league-phase match to Aston Villa, they recovered with victories over Inter Milan and Lens. The results have strengthened their European campaign and increased the importance of maintaining a competitive squad.
Tresoldi’s performances have also raised his profile beyond Belgium. His German, Italian and Argentine nationalities give him several international connections, while his youth-level career has included appearances for Germany. Continued progress at club level could increase his visibility and attract further interest before the summer transfer window.
For now, the clearest picture is that Club Brugge reportedly prefer to keep Tresoldi until the end of the season rather than sell him in January. The €60 million figure remains an unconfirmed valuation circulating in media coverage, not an officially announced asking price.
A summer 2027 transfer could still happen if a club meets Club Brugge’s expectations. Until then, the Belgian side appear keen to retain a forward whose performances have made him one of the most closely watched young players in their squad.
