According to the Daily Star, the Torino club president Urbano Cairo says that no bids have been made for the Chelsea target Andrea Belotti.
Belotti has attracted a lot of interest from big clubs this summer after his amazing breakthrough season for Torino last campaign, scoring 26 times in Serie A.
Belotti has a huge buy-out clause in his Torino contract which lasts until 2021, this clause is worth €100 million (£88 million) which Cairo states when he said “I chose the clause to be €100m [£88m] abroad remember, because it is very high and for the moment no-one has come in for him.”
After losing out on former striker Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, Antonio Conte is on the hunt for a new striker especially if Diego Costa leaves which is looking very likely.
Alvaro Morata has also been linked with a move to Chelsea but Real Madrid want to keep the Spaniard so maybe £88 million for Belotti is the way forward from the Blues.
It is no secret that Chelsea could easily pay this and it could be worth it, considering his talent at only 23 years of age.
Chelsea’s chances of snapping up Belotti have been made easier by Cairo saying this about the Italian striker joining another Serie A club “I don’t think it is possible [to join another Italian team], although the player’s will is crucial.”
