Belotti has a €100m release clause, although the club's hierarchy have claimed that that figure is not enough for the highly rated 23-year-old.


Torino president Urbano Cairo said - viathe Mirror: I don't think we can raise the clause now, as we only just signed the contract and we have to respect it.


"Anyway, a foreign club has to come in and put €100m on the table and Belotti has to agree before any sale. I hope no-one comes in with an offer.Of course, if I was negotiating it today, it should be €150m.�

Torinocoach Sinisa Mihajlovic added: The Rooster [Belotti's nickname]is worth more than €100m. Belotti has all the attributes to become the best striker in the championship and Europe. If he continues like this, €100m is not much.�


Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen to bring in another striker with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney in the latter stages of their careers, while Real Madrid could be willing to pay the considerable fee for the player.
