“We hope he makes the right choice” – Mancini on Tresoldi’s decision between Germany and Italy

Italy head coach Roberto Mancini revealed that he and technical director Claudio Ranieri have spoken with forward Nicolo Tresoldi regarding his international future. The 22-year-old Club Brugge forward is eligible to represent both Germany and Italy at the senior international level and has not yet committed to either nation, having temporarily made himself unavailable for senior selection while evaluating his options.

Mancini stated that Tresoldi must genuinely feel the desire to play for the Azzurri, while expressing optimism that his Italian heritage could influence his decision. Meanwhile, Tresoldi remains active with the Germany U21 national team as they prepare for upcoming fixtures against Belgium and Croatia.
