HLN are reporting that Barcelona are now joining Chelsea and Manchester United in monitoring Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi. The young German forward has already been the subject of serious interest from AS Roma, who had a bid of around €35m rejected by Club Brugge. For Barcelona, they had been hoping to bring in Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but the Argentinian forward will remain in Madrid for the time being. Hansi Flick is said to be keen on Tresoldi joining Barcelona, with the German head coach having already seen the striker up close when he scored against Barcelona for Club Brugge during the Champions League last season.

However, Barcelona will have to submit an offer that Club Brugge simply cannot refuse if they want to secure Tresoldi. The Belgian champions are keen to keep the striker for at least one more year, as they believe his value will only increase after a stellar first season with the club. They have also already lost a key player from last seasons title winning side in Christos Tzolis and, while they would sell if the offer was astronomical, have ambitions of going deep in Europe and regaining the title, with Tresoldi a key component in those ambitions. Club Brugge clearly understand that the young German forward will not be with them forever, but they are also hoping to maximise their returns from him on the pitch before turning to those potential returns off the pitch.
