Barcelona considers Nicolo Tresoldi as No. 9 option after Alvarez collapse
Summary

FC Barcelona is exploring alternatives for the No. 9 position, with Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi emerging as a key target. The club's interest follows the failed pursuit of Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, whose CEO has ruled out a transfer. Tresoldi, a 21-year-old German U21 international, has made a strong impression since moving to Brugge, scoring 23 goals last season and three in the current campaign. Barcelona faces a challenging negotiation, as Club Brugge is demanding over €40 million for the player, who has a long-term contract until 2039.
