Nicolo Trisoldi, the Belgian Club Brugge striker, confirmed that he has not yet decided whether he wants to represent Italy or Germany at the senior national team level, but he revealed that the final decision will most likely be made in the summer of 2027.
Trisoldi (22 years old) was born in the Italian city of Cagliari, but moved to Germany as a teenager, and has since represented Germany at the level of the U-19 and U-21 national teams.
The player has already scored five goals during nine participations in various competitions for the 2026/2027 season, including a goal in the Champions League against the English team Aston Villa.
There were calls in Italy for the young player to be included in Mancini’s squad in preparation for the European Nations League matches against Belgium, Turkey and France in September and October, as many other players with dual nationality were called up to block the interest of other teams in including them, including the likes of Honest Ahanor, Eddy Kouadio, Issa Doumbia and Mohamed Ali Zuma.
However, Trisoldi was ultimately not named in Mancini's squad for the international break, and will instead continue to play for the German Under-21 national team for the time being.
Speaking to Sky in Germany, Tresoldi confirmed his desire to continue playing with the German U-21 team until the end of the European Championship this summer. He also admitted that he is still 50 percent to 50 percent confused about his final decision on whether he will represent Germany or Italy in the future.
Trisoldi told Sky: “My heart is still divided in two. Both countries mean a lot to me.”
He added: “I wear the German shirt with pride, and I love being here. “I still want to participate in the European Championships, and then we will see how things go.”
