Overview
- Jürgen Klopp said the choice over Nicolò Tresoldi’s senior national team lies with the player and that Germany will accept whatever decision he makes.
- Klopp stressed the DFB will not try to persuade or “chase after” Tresoldi and praised the forward’s character and recent development.
- The Liverpool coach confirmed he has spoken directly with Italy coach Roberto Mancini about Tresoldi, showing coach-to-coach engagement on the issue.
- Tresoldi, a 22-year-old Club Brugge striker born in Sardinia, has delayed a final decision until after the U21 European Championship in summer 2027 and has drawn attention through form for Club Brugge and Germany’s U21s.
- Under FIFA rules a player’s senior competitive cap generally fixes national allegiance, so whether and when either federation offers Tresoldi a senior call-up will be the key factor to watch next.
