Barcelona face growing competition in the race to sign a new striker, after Manchester United and Chelsea entered the deal, at a time when the Catalan club continue to monitor the situation of Argentine Julian Alvarez, the Atletico Madrid striker.
According to Spanish newspaper "Sport", Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge has become a focus of interest for several clubs, after Barcelona flagged their interest in the German striker over the past few days.
Those reports emerged just days ago, laying out Barca's admiration for the Club Brugge forward.
The Belgian club had already made their stance clear. In principle, they don't want to negotiate over the player's departure, and they pointed out that they had previously turned down an official 35 million euro offer from Roma.
Local media tell a different story now. According to several outlets, Club Brugge's position has softened in recent days.
Barcelona's arrival has shaken up the market around Tresoldi, and big Premier League clubs have joined the chase during the final stretch of August.
Belgian website "Football News" reports that two Premier League clubs have sounded out Club Brugge and the circle around Nicolo Tresoldi, weighing up whether the 22-year-old striker might leave.
Those two clubs, the sources say, are Manchester United and Chelsea. Both can still strengthen their squads at this stage of the season, especially with several departures yet to be finalised.
Club Brugge have edged forward again. They admit that if they find no alternative to bowing to the pressure and opening the door to talks over Tresoldi's departure, the deal would go through for a figure close to 50 million euros.
