AC Milan are trying to move early for Nicolò Tresoldi in January, but the price is already rising. Reports place Club Brugge KV's asking range between €40 million and €50 million, after one source said they rejected a €35 million Roma offer in the summer.
The January timeline
The latest push is aimed at getting ahead of the market before the fee climbs again. SPORT1 say Milan want to try to complete the move as early as January, while other reports have pushed the valuation higher than the summer figure.
Tresoldi's own case is easy to see on merit. He has 4 goals in 4 Champions League appearances this season, scored twice against Inter at San Siro and also found the net away at PSV. Football-Italia quoted him on the move with a line that will only add to Milan's interest: "My dream is this: for me, the ultimate is Milan."
Milan's striker need
The interest also fits Milan's squad situation up front. Gonçalo Ramos has 2 Serie A goals in 11 appearances this season, while Francesco Camarda has 3 Serie A appearances and 41 minutes, with no goals.
Milan are 4th in Serie A with 24 points after 11 matches, so the case for adding another forward is strong enough without waiting for the winter market to move against them. Brugge, though, have their own leverage. They sit 9th in the Champions League standings with 9 points and have scored 11 goals in 4 matches, which gives them room to hold firm on price.
The story now is less about whether Milan like Tresoldi and more about whether they can keep the deal inside reach. January is the window they want, and Brugge's number is the one that will decide whether it happens.
