Barcelona target Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi

Barcelona remain in the market for a new central striker after parting ways with veteran Robert Lewandowski. Interest has grown in the 21-year-old forward Nicolo Tresoldi, who impressed last season in Belgium.

20.08.2026 22:15 — The 21-year-old German youth international spent the 2025/26 season at Club Brugge and finished with 21 goals in 42 appearances, figures that have put him on Barcelona’s radar as they search for options to bolster the attack under coach Hansi Flick.

Transfer context and competing names

Barcelona have already explored other avenues this summer. The club made a move for Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid that did not produce a transfer, and they have also examined the situation surrounding Inter captain Lautaro Martinez — a player the Milan-based team has no intention of letting go.

Tresoldi’s age profile and scoring record in Belgium are seen as attractive characteristics for a team looking to rejuvenate its frontline. Still, any move would depend on Club Brugge’s stance and Barcelona’s ability to agree personal and sporting terms.

As the transfer window progresses, Barcelona appear to be weighing several scenarios: signing a younger, high-upside striker or pursuing a proven, experienced forward. The club’s need to replace Lewandowski’s goals remains the driving factor behind their search.
