Andrea Belotti is fully focused on trying on trying to help his team in the race to avoid relegation, but the negotiation to extend his contract is going to be difficult and could lead to a break up between him and Torino, Tuttosport report. His current deal expires in 2022 and the talks to prolong it have just started.
The striker is reportedly frustrated for the lack of ambition of the club and realized that it will be improbable for him to play in Europe if he stays, especially considering the stingy transfer market strategies of owner Urbano Cairo. The salary would not be an issue, but Belotti has higher aspirations and did not appreciate how the delay has already been pinned on him by the executives. If he does not put pen to paper in the next couple of months, he will be sold in the summer before entering the final year of his contract.
Should that be the case, Milan would be in pole position for his services as directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have long appreciated his skills and their courtship has intensified lately, the Turin-based outlet reports. Roma would also be in the running if the did move on from Edin Dzeko as likely, while Inter and Fiorentina are a little behind in the race, alongside some unnamed Premier League and La Liga outfits. The Rossoneri could sign Belotti even if Ibrahimovic ends up staying past this season, as the two are not considered alternative, but the addition could eventually impact the future of Mario Mandzukic.
