Nicolo Tresoldi reveals details of Jurgen Klopp talks amid international dilemma

Promising striker Nicolo Tresoldi has candidly explained his decision to turn down a senior call-up from Jurgen Klopp. The 22-year-old remains at a career crossroads, currently weighing up whether to commit his international future to Germany or Italy.

Reflecting on his discussions with the 59-year-old coach, Tresoldi shared details of a supportive exchange. After receiving a message signed off with 'Best wishes, Kloppo', the striker engaged in phone conversations that left a lasting impression.

He understood it very well. We had a very good exchange. I hope I made a good impression. He is a great coach and also a great person. So I'm very grateful to him for the conversation and his support. Nicolo Tresoldi

The recruitment battle for the forward has intensified, involving high-profile figures including Germany sporting director Rudi Voller and Italy head coach Roberto Mancini. Tresoldi noted that Voller’s personal experience playing in Italy made his counsel particularly meaningful during this complex decision-making process.

For now, Tresoldi is focusing his energy on helping Germany complete their Euro Under-21 qualifying campaign. A definitive choice regarding his senior international allegiance is expected to follow once his commitments with the youth setup conclude and his domestic season progresses.
