Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi confessed that he "dreams of wearing the AC Milan shirt" one day, adding that he regularly watches Massimiliano Allegri's team. This past summer, the Rossoneri signed Swiss international Ardon Jashari from Brugge in what was a record transfer fee received by the Belgian Pro League giants. Tresoldi dreams of following a similar pathway to the Serie A.
Tresoldi assist not enough in UCL defeat to Atalanta
Club Brugge head coach Nicky Hayen continued to place his faith in young forward Tresoldi on Tuesday, with the former Hannover wonderkid delivering an assist for Christos Tzolis' 38th-minute strike, which fired the Belgian heavyweights into the lead against Atalanta in their Champions League encounter. However, it wasn't enough as second-half goals from Lazar Samardzic and Mario Pasalic dented Brugge's hopes of recording successive wins in the competition.

Speaking to reporters after the game, the Italy-born German said: "I'm happy to play for Club Brugge, but one day I'd like to experience the thrill of playing in Italy. I dream of wearing the AC Milan jersey; I'm a fan and I follow the Rossoneri a lot."
Ardon Jashari has already set benchmark at Brugge
Over the summer, Club Brugge received a club-record transfer fee worth €39 million (£34m/$46m) from Milan after intense negotiations between the two clubs. Tresoldi, who has scored nine goals in 18 games for the Germany under-21 side, will be determined to put himself in the spotlight with similarly strong showings in the Champions League this season. The Cagliari-born striker has scored two goals and registered as many assists in six Champions League outings (which include qualifying play-offs).

Jashari is currently recovering from a compound fracture on the right fibula, which he sustained following a collision in training with team-mate Santiago Gimenez. It is expected that the young midfielder will return to team training in November or early December. As for the Rossoneri, they will take on an in-form Juventus side on Sunday, with the motive of going into the international break as Serie A leaders.
