Nicolò Tresoldi admits he thinks about joining Milan ‘every morning when I wake up’, but expected a call from the Italian federation: ‘I decided to represent Germany years ago.’
U21 Germany international Tresoldi admits he dreams of joining Serie A giants Milan.
“It wouldn’t be bad to score a goal with the Milan shirt from a Leao assist,” he told Gazzetta.
“I’ve met him once at San Siro. I’m a Milan fan, and I really enjoyed it. It was nice and unexpected.

“Milan is a dream that pushes me to work every day. I’m really happy here at Club Brugge, but I know I have a long way ahead of me. The dream of playing for Milan is inside my head, and I think about it every morning when I wake up.”
Recent reports in Italy suggest the Rossoneri are keeping an eye on the 21-year-old striker, so Tresoldi’s dream might come true in the future.
“Pippo Inzaghi was my first idol,” he continued.
“Not long ago, I used to count my goals; I noted down everything on my phone, including those in training, but then I gave up; otherwise, my brain would have exploded.
“Today, I take inspiration from Robert Lewandowski. I study him and watch every Barcelona game. I want to enjoy him until he retires, he’s the striker I like the most.”
Born in Cagliari, Italy, on August 20, 2004, his parents moved to Germany when he was a kid, so he started playing in Hannover’s youth sector.
Currently under contract with Club Burgge, Tresoldi has scored 12 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions this season, but it’s unlikely that he’ll play for the Azzurri in the future.

“Italy is Italy, but I decided to represent Germany years ago,” he said.
“They’ve shown me a path, and I’ve immediately felt loved, even by the federation. It’s important to play for me. I’ve never received a call from Coverciano, so I’m going ahead with Germany for now.”
Tresoldi, however, admitted a call from the Italian football federation.
“Honestly, yes, I’ve scored two goals in the Champions League, and I would have liked a call, even just to know each other. It means I have to do even more.”
Tresoldi was on the pitch in June 2025 when Germany U21 eliminated the Azzurrini from the U21 Euros.
“It was a bit strange to hear the opponents speaking Italian,” he admitted.
“I felt a little sorry to knock them out, but that’s football.”
