‘Man United, Chelsea and Real Madrid want Belotti’
Andrea Belotti is a target for Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid after notching his 20th, 21st and 22nd Serie A goals of the season on Sunday.
Italian newspaper La Gazzetta Dello Sport claim that Chelsea – who were linked with a January move for Belotti – have been joined in their interest by United and Madrid.
Jose Mourinho’s side have been linked with moves for Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski in the English press, but we can now add Torino striker Belotti to that list.
He scored a hat-trick against Palermo at the weekend and is now ahead of Harry Kane in the race to be the best young striker in Europe.
Only two players in Europe's top 5 leagues have 5+ goals with their head, left and right foot.

Belotti has a €100m release clause in his contract but Torino chairman Urbano Cairo says:
“If you think back to when we inserted that clause, €100m seemed a crazy figure, but today it seems too low. If I were to do the clause now, I would put it at €150m. Just compare him to the goals Lionel Messi has scored, yet Belotti is younger so he’s worth more.”
