Torino spurn Arsenal's huge €65m offer for Andrea Belotti

Torino have confirm they have received an offer from Arsenal for Andrea Belotti, believed to be €65m, “but he is worth more" according to the club's Sporting Director.

The Italy international recently signed a new contract, which has a €100m release clause that is valid only for clubs outside of the Peninsula.

There have been reports that Arsenal offered €65m (£55.7m) and Torino's director of sport Gianluca Petrachi admitted as much.

“Yes, we received the offer, but it does not reflect the value of the player,” Petrachi told Sky Sport Italia when asked specifically about the Gunners' bid.

“Anyway, he is going nowhere for now. We want to enjoy him, then we’ll see what happens.

“We intend to keep Belotti and President Urbano Cairo signed this important buy-out clause. I think he’s worth more than they have offered.”

Belotti, 23, signed for Torino in the summer of 2015 and he has scored 25 goals in 51 Serie A appearances including 13 in 16 this season.

A report from PA Sport on Sunday evening suggested that Arsenal have denied making any such bid.
