Torino striker Andrea Belotti says his €100m clause “has no effect on me”, and discusses the derby with Juventus.
The Italian international is level with Edin Dzeko at the top of the Serie A scoring charts, leading to links with Chelsea, among others.
However, Granata President Urbano Cairo has made it clear he won’t sell for less than the €100m clause in his striker’s contract.
“The clause honestly has no effect on me,” Belotti shrugged, speaking to Tiki Taka.

“The transfer market gives inflated figures, the price of a player has risen a lot.”
Belotti scored in the first Derby della Mole of the season, but Juve emerged as 3-1 winners and the clubs will meet at Juventus Stadium on May 6.
“I scored to make it 1-0 against Juve in the first game. Like all the derbies it was a very passionate game and we thought we could do something important.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, as [Gonzalo] Higuain had two nice pieces of play. We know that you can’t give a team like Juve anything, but we’re ready to try again at Juventus Stadium.”
Il Gallo was also asked about his idols and toughest opponents.
“Sheva [Andriy Shevchenko] is my absolute idol,” Belotti revealed.
“He was a champion on and off the pitch, an exemplary professional who impressed me with the ease with which he scored from every position.
“As for defenders, [Giorgio] Chiellini is one of the most difficult to face, as is [Leonardo] Bonucci, they’re always very attentive.
“Then there are a lot of defenders who go in hard, also at Chievo like [Dario] Dainelli and [Nicolas] Spolli, they give out and take a lot of hits.”
