Manchester United are monitoring Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi as a potential replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, while senior figures have resolved to secure the long-term future of defender Lisandro Martinez. According to reports by CaughtOffside and TeamTalk, the Belgian club value their 21-year-old forward between €45 million and €50 million. United and Tottenham Hotspur representatives scouted the player during a Champions League match against Aston Villa, with Chelsea and Barcelona also keeping tabs on his development.
Club Brugge set high price for prolific Tresoldi
Nicolo Tresoldi has emerged as a premium target after a prolific campaign, scoring 23 goals in 58 appearances last season for Club Brugge. His prolific form has already driven a concrete market response, with AS Roma having a €35 million bid rejected by the Belgian side. Manchester United's interest in the striker coincides with uncertainty surrounding Joshua Zirkzee, who has fallen down the pecking order under manager Michael Carrick and attracted interest from clubs including Juventus, Napoli, Everton, and Como. Any concrete move for Tresoldi is expected to hinge on United successfully negotiating Zirkzee's departure.
Martinez contract prioritised despite injury setbacks
Alongside their attacking search, United are moving swiftly to stabilise their defence. Speaking on the situation, journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the club want to discuss a new contract with Lisandro Martinez as soon as possible. The 28-year-old Argentina international, whose current contract expires in 2027, is currently recovering from an ACL injury suffered in February. Despite this setback, Football Insider reports that United are determined to resist any external transfer interest and view Martinez as a central pillar of their squad under Carrick.
