Report: Brugge confirm Tresoldi will not be allowed to leave in January amid Milan interest

By: Ben Dixon

It seems AC Milan will not be signing Nicolo Tresoldi in January, with Club Brugge making a statement to the press.

In recent weeks, if not longer, Milan have been constantly linked with signing Tresoldi. A fan of the club, the German-Italian striker is an obvious candidate to make a move to San Siro in the near future, especially with Gerry Cardinale being a big fan.

However, the finances of the deal make it difficult to really imagine it happening in January, after the Rossoneri paid €75 million for Goncalo Ramos in the summer. Now, a new obstacle has emerged and it’s both financial and literal.

This afternoon, MilanVibes have relayed a statement from Club Brugge, published in the popular Belgian paper Het Laatste Nieuws, saying that the striker will not be leaing in January. Indeed, despite the interest from the Diavolo and clubs from the Premier League, he will not be sold, even if bids of €60-70m arrive.

Their policy, as the report continues, will not allow them to sell prized assets in January. However, he will be available in the summer, perhaps for as much as €80m, when they will have a replacement strategy in place too.

At €60-70m, a deal feels extreme, but pushing €80m feels like a step too far for the striker…
