Monaco take pole position in race for Belotti

Monaco have returned to the charge for Andrea Belotti and believe they can convince him to accept a deal soon.

The 28-year-old Italian forward is leaving Torino after seven years next week, ready for a new adventure after a long period of service in the Piedmont capital. He had hoped to join Milan, who have been keen to make a move for him in the past, but nothing has materialised and now there is a chance that he’ll leave Italy altogether.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Monaco have recently upped the pressure as they look to finalise a deal with Belotti. The 28-year-old has taken a few days to consider the Ligue 1 side’s valuable three-year offer and he is extremely tempted.

In the Principality, he’d be given a leading role and would have the chance to play in the Champions League, depending on how the preliminaries go. Fiorentina are also interested in a move for Belotti, so now he has to decide whether he’s desperate to stay in Italy or not.
