Brugge had already rejected a 35 million euro offer from Roma, but Barcelona&#8217;s interest changed the game entirely.<\/p>\n<p>You can discuss topics and news in greater depth on the &#8220;Kooora&#8221; forums<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Spanish media report that Manchester United and Chelsea have also enquired about Nicolo&#8217;s situation, and both could enter the race in the final weeks of the window.<\/p>\n<p>That growing competition has forced a rethink. Brugge are now willing to let Tresoldi go, provided a rewarding offer lands on the table. The Belgian club have set their demands at around 50 million euros, a figure that could complicate matters for sporting director Deco as Barcelona hunt for options to bolster their attack. They want a striker after the exits of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, having missed out on their first target Julian Alvarez, whose club Atletico Madrid refuse to sell to them.<\/p>\n<p>Add the price tag to Chelsea and United circling, and the Tresoldi deal looks to be heading for the rocks too.<\/p>\n<p>You can discuss topics and news in greater depth on the &#8220;Kooora&#8221; forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona have suffered a heavy blow in the current summer transfer window, one that threatens their pursuit of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1822,179,92,24578,3108,6458,85,28597,265],"class_list":["post-75022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-athletic-bilbao","tag-atletico-madrid","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-vs-athletic-bilbao","tag-club-brugge","tag-j-alvarez","tag-laliga","tag-n-tresoldi","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
