Early life
Born in Cagliari, Sardinia,[2] Tresoldi later settled with his family in Gubbio, where he started playing both football and tennis before choosing to focus on the former sport.[3][4] He was born to an Italian father and an Argentine mother of Italian descent (originally from Bergamo). His father, Emanuele Tresoldi, was also a footballer.[4][5][6]
Tresoldi was offered trials at several high-profile Italian clubs, before moving to Hanover, Germany, with his family at the age of 13 for his mother's work. He then joined the youth sector of Hannover 96.[3][4][7]
Club career
Having impressed during his stints for the under-17 and under-19 teams,[7] on 5 January 2022 Tresoldi signed his first professional contract with the club, with the deal set to be officially activated on the player's eighteenth birthday on 20 August.[8][9]
After featuring for Hannover's reserve team towards the end of the 2021–22 season, Tresoldi made his professional debut for Hannover 96 in the 2. Bundesliga on 15 July 2022, against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, coming on as a substitute for Maximilian Beier in the 88th minute; the match eventually ended in a 1–2 away loss for his side.[3][10]
On 7 June 2025, Tresoldi joined Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge by signing a contract until 2029.[11] Later that year, on 18 September, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 4–1 victory over Monaco.[12] A year later, on 13 October, he netted his first Champions League hat-trick in a 4–3 away win over Inter Milan.[13]
International career
Thanks to his dual citizenship, Tresoldi can choose to represent either Italy or Germany in international matches.[4]
On 25 October 2022, Tresoldi made his debut for the German under-19 national team in a 1–0 friendly match loss against Spain.[14] Tresoldi took part at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in 2025. During the tournament, he competed upfront with fellow teammates Nick Woltemade and Nelson Weiper. He scored a goal throughout the tournament and reach the final, which his side lost 3–2 to England.[15][16]
After Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup[17] and Tresoldi registered 20 goals and eight assists in his debut season for Brugge,[18] Julian Nagelsmann almost called him up for Germany's World Cup squad, stating that Tresoldi is a classic number 9 that Germany could have benefited from. Due to tactical reasons, Nagelsmann chose other strikers before him, adding that Tresoldi's "time will come".[19]
