Torino F.C. are not interested in selling their 24-year-old striker Andrea Belotti despite some heavy interest.
Andrea Belotti had a dream season last year when he managed to score 26 goals in 35 appearances for Torino in the Serie A. And this rich vein of form attracted a lot of suitors – including Chelsea, who were interested in buying the player. But the Italian outfit held onto him and were adamant that the striker was not for sale.
But this season Belotti’s form has nose-dived and he has managed to score only 4 goals in 14 appearances in the Serie A. While a lot of pundits are of the opinion that Torino should sell Belotti off during the January transfer window as Torino can still manage to pocket a handsome fee for the Italian but the club’s president has totally contrasting views.
