Moretto: Tresoldi ‘arrived at Casa Milan’ to sign but move collapsed – the background

Nicolo Tresoldi could have already been an AC Milan player now, given that he was very close to signing a few years ago.

Tresoldi has found himself in the Milan orbit for a number of reasons in recent weeks. His continued declarations of love for the Rossoneri – his boyhood team – already had some fans clamouring to try and sign him, and that was before his Champions League hat-trick against Inter at San Siro.

In the past few days, the speculation has ramped up regarding an attempt by Milan. Not put off by the painful negotiations to sign Charles De Ketelaere and Ardon Jashari, it seems Gerry Cardinale wants to try and sign yet another Brugge star.

Matteo Moretto spoke during a video on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, and he explained that the young striker was even close to signing for Milan previously, while waiting to see what the future holds.

“In the summer of 2021, Tresoldi arrived at Casa Milan because he had every intention of signing for Milan. Milan had already closed on him,” he said (via MilanNews).

“At the time, the Maldini-Massara duo were the ones at the helm. The deal was done, all that was missing was the signatures. Tresoldi didn’t sign that day: he returned to Germany, and Milan never closed the deal.

“In the summer of 2021, Milan came close to signing Tresoldi, but he then extended his contract with Hannover. We’ll see if he can become a popular option for the Rossoneri in the future.”
