Torino president Urbano Cairo insists he never feared losing Andrea Belotti this summer.

The striker was linked with a €100m move away.

“I was never afraid of losing him. The decision was mine to keep Belotti, unless someone came along ready to pay the €100m clause," Cairo told Radio Sportiva.

“Seeing as nobody came close to it, I was relaxed. He is staying with us for this season and then we'll see. We kept him and Adem Ljajic, Iago Falque and Daniele Baselli, Antonio Barreca, Afriyie Acquah even if he had a lot of offers, and of course Joel Obi.

“We had an incredible number of proposals come in, but we kept practically everyone and added important new players."
