Nico's Journey:
Heads up, Hannover 96 fans! The young Italian-German striker, Nicolo Tresoldi, is bidding farewell to the Lower Saxony club after a fantastic five-year spell. Tresoldi is trading Germany for Belgium, signing with runner-up club FC Bruges, aiming to play at a higher level and compete in the Champions League.

The son of an Italian father and German mother, the promising striker quickly grabbed the attention of the club's trainers with his impressive skills. After honing his craft in the academy, Tresoldi earned his spot as a regular in the senior team, playing a vital role in 80 competitive games and scoring 14 goals.
The 20-year-old's performances did not go unnoticed as he was called up to the U21 national team and will represent Germany in the upcoming U21 European Championship in Slovakia (11-28 June). Despite his excitement for this new chapter, Tresoldi expressed his difficulty in leaving Hannover, a club and city that he's grown to love.
"This opportunity to test myself at a higher level and join a club that's always fighting for championships is a dream come true," said Tresoldi, looking forward to his next challenge with FC Bruges.
Interestingly, Tresoldi made his mark in Hannover at a young age, scoring his first goal in after just a week of training with the team. He also represented Germany at the U19 and U21 levels, demonstrating his versatility and prowess for the national team.
As FC Bruges awaits the arrival of its new star, Tresoldi will undoubtedly leave his mark in the Belgian league, possibly even catching the eye of senior national team selectors. With his exceptional play and determination, who knows - we might be watching the rise of a European football sensation.
