It also gives Tresoldi a chance to showcase himself on Italian soil, a step that could precede an Azzurri future. For my money, a strong showing here could sway his national allegiance.
Born in Italy and raised in Germany after his family moved, the forward has represented Germany at youth levels but remains undecided about his senior allegiance.
One thing’s clear: his loyalty lies with Milan’s red‑and‑black.
It feels like a derby to me; playing at San Siro has always been my dream,” Tresoldi told Sky Sport Italia.
Facing Inter as a Milanista makes it even sweeter – I’m like a kid seeing his wish granted.
So far this season he’s netted six times in eight competitive outings for Club Brugge.
