Roma Targets Nicolo Tresoldi as Gasperini Searches for Striker

Roma’s search for a new attacking spearhead under Gian Piero Gasperini has taken another sharp turn. With attempts to land Mason Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville collapsing earlier this month, the club have now zeroed in on Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge.

This is not a scattergun move. Tresoldi is exactly the kind of forward Gasperini gravitates toward: young, mobile, aggressive in his movement. A striker who can live with the physical demands and positional rotations that define the coach’s attacking play.

According to Il Tempo journalists Filippo Biafora and Lorenzo Pes, Roma are already in talks with Club Brugge over a deal. The dialogue is open, the interest concrete.

Crucially, Tresoldi has made his stance clear. The young German has already expressed his desire to join Roma, a detail that tilts the emotional balance of the negotiation firmly towards Trigoria. He wants Serie A. He wants Gasperini.

The problem sits on the other side of the table. Club Brugge are holding a hard financial line, continuing to demand high figures for a player they know is drawing serious attention. Roma may have the coach’s approval and the player’s will, but the Belgian club’s valuation remains a sizeable obstacle.

For now, the move rests in that familiar summer limbo: agreement in principle between player and club, tension over the fee. Roma have found their target. The question is whether they are prepared to push hard enough to meet Brugge’s demands and finally deliver Gasperini the striker he has been waiting for.
