Roma surge ahead of Dortmund in race for Club Brugge Tresoldi
Inside AS Roma’s compact scouting room, analysts reviewed footage of Club Brugge’s lone forward Samir Tresoldi weaving past defenders, confirming that the Giallorossi have moved ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the pursuit of the Belgian striker as a potential backup for Donyell Malen.
The Italian side believes the Belgian forward could become the ideal backup for Donyell Malen. The Giallorossi view Tresoldi as the perfect understudy, offering depth and versatility in attack.
By targeting the Club Brugge forward, Roma aim to strengthen their squad without disrupting the existing hierarchy. The move is intended to add quality while preserving the current pecking order.
Borussia Dortmund have also entered the race for the Club Brugge striker, signalling serious competition from another quarter. Their interest underscores the intensity of the bidding war.
Roma’s pre‑emptive move for Tresoldi vs rising European interest
The Germans insist on finding the perfect fit for their attacking line, and their pursuit hinges on a specific condition, according to a Sky journalist. The condition has not been disclosed but is seen as pivotal for any deal. DE journalist Florian Plettenberg explained that the only realistic path for Dortmund would be to offload striker Guirassy. He added that arranging such a sale appears far from straightforward at present, creating a bottleneck in the German club’s transfer plans. With the Guirassy deal unlikely to materialise soon, Dortmund find themselves effectively stuck. The stalled sale leaves the Germans without the necessary funds to match Roma’s offer for Tresoldi. Meanwhile, Roma retain the advantage, holding what Plettenberg described as the winning deck of cards. Their early focus on the Club Brugge forward and the lack of a comparable obstacle keep them ahead in the competition for Tresoldi.
