Nicolo Tresoldi’s father has revealed that his son nearly joined Liverpool before becoming one of this season’s breakout Champions League stars, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Tresoldi, 22, is now at Club Brugge and has scored 23 league goals in his debut season there, with nine more already this term. He marked his impact in Europe with a hat-trick against Inter on Tuesday, becoming the youngest German player to do so in the Champions League.
Born in Italy but raised across several countries because of his mother’s work in civil aviation, Tresoldi joined Hannover 96’s academy as a teenager instead of moving to Merseyside. After coming through their system, he signed for Brugge last year.
A reminder of how players’ paths shift early on, though there’s no word on when Liverpool’s interest was or what fee they offered.
