Liverpool are reportedly planning a €22m January offer for 'top-class' Torino striker Andrea Belotti, but it looks like the striker's transfer fee may be about to skyrocket.
On Friday, an alleged exclusive in Calciomercato claimed:
"Liverpool are planning to beat Arsenal to Andrew Belotti by making a €22m offer. Klopp wants him at Anfield".
According to Italian newspaper Tutto Mercato today:
"Torino's chairman, Urbano Cairo, has decided to extend Belotti's contract until 2021, and will insert a €60m buy-out clause in a bid to keep other teams away from the Italian international".
€60m for a striker who's never scored more than 12 goals in a single season? It's laughable, and in my view, Cairo is living in some kind of deluded fantasy land if thinks any club will pay more than €60m+ for Belotti (who cost Torino just €7.5m).
Belotti's stats:
* Career Total: 62 goals/18 assists in 181 games (Goal every 188 mins. G/A every 146 mins)
* 54% of overall goals/assists came in Serie B.
* Palermo/Torino: 32 goals/16 assists (48) in 105 apps (Goal every 182 mins. G/A every 121 mins).
Is Belotti a better option than, say, Alexander Lacazette?
