Andrea Belotti is destined to leave Torino this summer after many years of being linked with big clubs, but never taking the step. Milan have been following him for a long time and now they could finally make a move.

As reported by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are this monitoring several players and Belotti is one of them. Torino have already rejected an offer of €15m plus €3m in bonuses for the striker, which arrived from Roma.
However, if an offer of €20m cash arrives then Belotti could leave, at least if some bonuses or a counterpart are included as well. It remains to be seen if Milan will make a serious attempt for the boyhood Rossoneri fan this summer.
