As revealed exclusively on French Football Weekly, the Italian striker, Andrea Belotti, is still available on the transfer market since last summer. Indeed, AS Roma, which has just parted ways with José Mourinho and which is preparing to lose its sporting director Tiago Pinto, wants to take advantage of this winter transfer window to downsize the squad in order to better prepare for its summer reconstruction. And according to our information, the former Torino striker is one of the players likely to pack up in the coming weeks. After the defeat against AC Milan (3-1), Andrea Belotti kicked in when a question about his future was asked: “For the moment yes, I’m staying, I don’t know anything about leaving, no one has told me anything”.

According to our indiscretions, the Como club, resident of Serie B, has been pushing for several weeks to enlist the Italian international but the “Gallo Belotti” 30-year-old wants to stay in Serie A. Some teams in the Italian elite have ticked off the name of Andrea Belotti as a possible winter reinforcement. AC Monza and Fiorentina would like to bring new blood into their offensive rotation and are thinking of Belotti, while Salernitana and Empoli are hoping for a loan from the native of Calcinate to stay in Serie A. The battle is likely to rage in Italy for to secure the services of an experienced player who has scored 109 goals in 314 league games in his career.
