Capello weighs in on Milan’s reported Tresoldi pursuit: “Must be carefully considered”

Despite the fact that Milan have scored 23 goals in their first 11 league games, there continues to be some concerns about the attack. Goncalo Ramos was the club-record summer signing and he remains stuck on two goals in Serie A, with one of them being a penalty.

This morning, more speculation emerged claiming that Gerry Cardinale wants to make an attempt to sign Tresoldi. The boyhood Milanista would cost around €50m after an excellent start to the season, which included a hat-trick against Inter at San Siro in the Champions League.

Capello gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport that was published this morning, and it centred around what each of the big clubs in Serie A can do in the winter to boost their ambitions for 2026-27.

Can the January mercato be useful?

“The winter transfer market can be a great opportunity, but only if you find the right player who arrives, under the best conditions, and makes the difference to your goal.

“I don’t believe in spending money, even a lot of it, on someone you think can improve a squad midway through the season. At the base there must be a team that already has value.”

Would Tresoldi be enough for the Rossoneri?

“They’re a team under construction. If I were the club, I’d listen closely to the coach and a few players who’ve been there a while who can help figure out what’s missing.

“The choice of a potential new centre-forward must be carefully considered, because the point is that they need someone who can provide the right balls to score the goals Amorim demands. However, Tresoldi is a very interesting prospect.”

Would you like to see him in Serie A?

“He could definitely do well. He could also decide to play for Italy, and that would be really nice too. I’ll tell you something: the other day I was watching Genoa-Milan, and from the start there was only one Italian on the pitch for the Rossoneri. And that says it all.”
