Nicolo Tresoldi undecided on international future between Italy and Germany

Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi finds himself at the center of a tug-of-war between two European football powerhouses: Italy and Germany. Born in Cagliari to Italian parents, the 22-year-old moved to Germany at 13 to join Hannover 96 and later obtained citizenship.

Despite earning 24 caps for Germany's under-21 side, Tresoldi has yet to commit his senior international future. Germany U21 head coach Antonio Di Salvo confirmed that he has held direct discussions with the player regarding his dilemma.

This is not a question that needs to be asked of me, but I have spoken to him and he said that he still can't make a decision. Antonio Di Salvo

Di Salvo expressed support for the striker, welcoming his continued commitment to the youth setup while acknowledging the complexities of modern dual-nationality choices. The coach noted that given the global nature of modern football, players frequently face these difficult decisions and deserve time to deliberate.

The uncertainty is further amplified by Tresoldi's impressive form. Having scored five goals in nine appearances for Club Brugge in the 2026-27 season, he has become a high-profile target. His consistent performances are expected to intensify interest from the respective senior national team camps as the next international break approaches.
