Torino president Cairo dismisses AC Milan Belotti push

Torino president Urbano Cairo insists there's no pressure to sell Andrea Belotti.

The Italy striker has been linked with AC Milan this week.

However, Cairo told Sky Sport Italia: “Belotti has a foreign release clause, I hope he stays at Torino for another year.

“He could stay at Toro. If an Italian team offers €100m and he wants to leave at all costs then I'll think about it.

“Having said that, I don't want to sell him. I'd only let him leave [without a fight] if I'm forced by his release clause.

“We don't need to sell him. I didn't come here to talk to him. There's no need.

“Belotti's the centre of attention, they're all talking about him, but I want to keep him. He'll only leave for his 100m release clause.

“Belotti's will is important, but Torino's is more so. He's a decent lad, who's made a commitment with us.

“Belotti's contract will run until 2020, he's had a great year and I'd like him to have another year with us.

“There's nothing else that needs saying about him."
