Tresoldi, who currently plays for Club Brugge, has Italian roots and has been playing for various German youth teams, eventually reaching the German U21 team. He has now given his word to the Italian national team, the Azzurri, and the procedure to change his nationality is underway. If the procedure is completed on time, Tresoldi can debut for Italy against Belgium on September 25.
Tresoldi's decision follows a summer where he attracted interest from several clubs, including AS Roma, which reportedly offered a bid of 35 million euros. However, Club Brugge refused to let him go, and he will remain with the Belgian club for the time being. The FIFA must officially approve the switch before Tresoldi can be included in the Italian national team's selection.
