Germany is not the only nation pulling at Tresoldi’s heartstrings. Italy’s new head coach, Roberto Mancini, has also been active in trying to convince the striker to return to his roots. The striker confirmed that Mancini’s approach was met with the same honesty he provided to the German camp. “I said the same thing to him as I did to Klopp,” Tresoldi remarked.
Tresoldi, who was born in Sardinia and spent his early childhood in Italy before moving to Germany at the age of 13, holds deep ties to the Mediterranean nation. Interestingly, he also holds eligibility for Argentina through his mother, though the current battle remains focused on Europe. He reminded observers that his connection to Italy is not merely through his parentage but is a fundamental part of his upbringing. “It’s not just that only my father comes from Italy. I was also born there, I grew up there,” he said.
