From Belgium: Club Brugge Rule Out January Sale of Manchester City Attacking Target

From Belgium: Club Brugge Rule Out January Sale of Manchester City Attacking Target Hugo Viana and co are scouting for attacking reinforcements as early as January 2027. More Videos Tresoldi, 22, scored 23 goals and provided seven assists in 58 appearances across his debut campaign in Belgium, helping the club to the Pro League title before attracting interest from across Europe's top five leagues. The Germany U21 international was born in Cagliari to an Italian father and an Argentine mother, joining Club Brugge from Hannover 96 in June 2025 on a contract running until 2029. Tresoldi has built on those numbers this season with 14 goals in 17 games, five of which have come in the UEFA Champions League, including a hat-trick in a 4-3 win over Inter Milan at San Siro in October. He also scored a penalty against Aston Villa in September, when Manchester United and Tottenham were reported to have sent representatives to watch him in Belgium. Man City face summer wait as Club Brugge refuse January 2027 sale As reported by HLN and relayed by Get Football News Bene , Manchester City , Manchester United, AC Milan and Bayern Munich are all keen on Tresoldi, but there is little to no chance of any of them prising him away from the Jan Breydel Stadium in the winter window. The Belgian outlet explains that Club Brugge operate a policy of not selling key players in January, and none of the interested sides are expected to convince the club to make an exception for their star striker this season. Instead, any club hoping to sign Tresoldi will have to return next summer, when HLN expects Club Brugge to demand a huge fee, with the club well used to extracting significant sums from suitors during the summer window year after year. The report adds that Club Brugge view keeping Tresoldi as their best chance of retaining the Pro League title, competing for the domestic cup and progressing as far as possible in the Champions League this season. Erling Haaland has scored nine Premier League goals this season and remains Enzo Maresca's first-choice centre-forward, although the Norway international failed to score in the recent defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest , with Rayan Cherki scoring City's only goal across those two games in the 3-1 loss at the City Ground. Phil Foden has also operated as a false nine at times under Maresca, scoring a hat-trick against AEK Athens in the Champions League last month after dropping into the central striking role during the second half. Manchester City's attacking depth has been tested by the absence of Antoine Semenyo, who was ruled out for around eight weeks with a knee injury suffered against Ipswich Town in October and is expected back before the end of the year. City headed into the international break on the back of three straight Premier League defeats, sitting six points behind leaders Arsenal , with Maresca having vowed to resolve the problems in the two-week pause. Tresoldi's 14 goals in 17 games this season mean his value is only likely to rise further before the summer, with Manchester City among a group of European heavyweights left to monitor his progress from afar for now. Manchester City return from the international break at home to Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on November 21, before hosting Napoli in the Champions League on November 24 and a trip to face Premier League champions Arsenal on November 29.
