Every now and again, there are claims in Italy of interest in Andrea Belotti, and it usually feels very hard to believe.
The 26 year old scored 22 goals and provided six assists last season, but seems very settled at Torino and the big money battle needed to sign him probably isn’t attractive to most.
Friday’s edition of Tuttosport claims Torino’s president has been batting away all requests for his striker. it’s claimed that previously Manchester United and Fiorentina were keen, and ‘the latest has been from Newcastle and Everton’.
Torino are holding firm, and don’t even want to listen to any offers for their star, instead preferring to build the team around Belotti.
been interested, the claims about Manchester United, Newcastle United and Everton feel very flimsy indeed.Leaking these names to the media makes Torino president Urbano Cairo look strong in the face of vultures, and that’s likely to be the whole point of it.
