According to the latest reports, Andrea Belotti is determined to leave Torino for Milan, but the Rossoneri only want him as a free agent.
Toro President Urbano Cairo confirmed this week that Belotti probably had no intention of signing a new contract with the club.
His current deal is due to expire in June 2022, so he will be a free agent next summer.
This prompted suggestions Torino would aim to sell in January, so as to avoid making a complete loss on their most valuable player.
However, Calciomercato.com claim that Belotti has his heart set on Milan and the Rossoneri do not want to spend any money on Il Gallo.
The plan for director Ricky Massara is therefore to wait and see if Belotti really does become available as a free agent in July.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud already big earners in those roles, Milan are in no rush to bring in another centre-forward yet.
