1 Andrea Belotti is a wanted man having starred for Torino

Inter Milan have made the first move in the race to land Andrea Belotti with a mega-money player-plus-cash offer.

According to Tuttosport, the San Siro club lodged a bid worth £61.5m which also included THREE players – one of which was former Hull defender Andrea Ranocchia.

Belotti is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe after hitting 26 goals in 35 Serie A outings for Torino this season.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all expected to strengthen their frontlines this summer and have expressed an interest in signing the 23-year-old, who has a release clause set at £86m for clubs outside of Italy.

However, Inter have now reportedly tested the water with a formal bid, although it falls well short of Torino’s valuation, especially for a club who don’t want to sell him to another Serie A team.

As such, the Turin-based side have dismissed the offer and now await concrete interest from England.
