Nicolò Tresoldi was very close to making Germany’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad in North America. He is not a classic target man, but a classic striker, and his inclusion would have required leaving another player out. Tresoldi had a strong season for Club Brugge, scoring 19 goals and providing seven assists in 56 matches across all competitions. At 21 years old and 1.86m tall, he offers a different profile than Kai Havertz and Nick Woltemade, who are positioned as frontrunners to start. Tresoldi is expected to wait for EURO 2028 to potentially experience his first major tournament with Germany.
"“Nicolò Tresoldi was very, very close to making the squad. He's not a classic target man, but he's a classic striker. He was extremely close, but in the end he didn't make the squad because in that case we had to leave someone else out. It's not easy,” said Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Tresoldi has had a very good season for Club Brugge, as he has tallied 19 goals and seven assists in 56 games across all competitions. The 21-year-old is 6'1" (1.86m) and offers a different look at the striker position than the two frontrunners to start - Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Newcastle United's Nick Woltemade."
"Like Bayern Munich's Tom Bischof and FC Köln's Said El Mala, though, Tresoldi will have to wait for the EURO 2028 to - hopefully - experience his first big tournament with Germany."
