Andrea Belotti is already gathering plenty of concrete interest but he seems to be waiting for his boyhood club AC Milan, a report claims.
Calciomercato.com writes how Belotti has just returned from a hamstring injury and is a candidate for a starting spot in Friday night’s derby against Juventus. His contract with Torino expires in June, and at 28 the striker feels ready to leave for a bigger club, to fight for trophies.
In the player’s head there is only Milan, as Belotti has been a Rossoneri fan since he was a child, and his dream is to play at San Siro with the Rossonero shirt. Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are currently in a stage of evaluation and reflection meanwhile.
Considering the age of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (40) and Olivier Giroud (35), an investment in attack is needed this summer and the idea of signing Belotti – who is in his prime years – is tempting to many clubs, including Milan.
However, before making a concrete move they must define the position of Ibrahimovic, because while the Swede would like to stay and renew his deal for another year, it is unlikely that the club will be able to guarantee him a starting role.
Belotti has given top priority to Milan and has already rejected a couple of offers from Al-Hilal and Newcastle, with both clubs offering around €7-8m net per season. Toronto, Napoli and Atalanta are also keen, but they all still come behind the Rossoneri in the preferences of the player.
