According to Tutto Mercato Web, Wolves have offered Everton and Newcastle target Andrea Belotti a contract.
What’s the story?
Well, after Wolves lost Raul Jimenez to injury, it seems Bruno Lage has decided to move for the Italy international.
Belotti recently became a free agent after his contract with Torino expired, where he became something of a cult hero with 251 appearances under his belt.
The 28-year-old’s availability has attracted the attention of Everton, while Newcastle are also believed to be keen on bringing him to the Premier League.
Now, however, it is Wolves who have made the first concrete move, although there’s an issue.
Tutto Mercato Web believe Belotti isn’t too excited about a move to Molineux, and would prefer to join José Mourinho at Roma.
The Italian news outlet are claiming that Wolves have offered the Italian a three-year contract worth €3.5m (£3m).
Wolves could still sign Belotti, but it seemingly depends on whether Roma decide to make an offer or not.
Everton & Newcastle target could shine for Wolves
In our view, Wolves should offer Belotti more money in a bid to convince him, as there aren’t many better free agents on the market right now.
The powerful striker – who has been compared to Harry Kane – boasts 158 career goals to his name, while he has also been a regular feature among Robert Mancini’s Italy squads.
For what it’s worth, he has also been compared to Leicester forward Jamie Vardy, which is quite the compliment.
At the age of 28, Belotti is right in the midst of his prime, and seeing as Wolves are in desperate need of a new striker, it could be a match made in heaven.
Keep an eye on this saga, as Tutto Mercato Web believe he is taking his time, and hasn’t officially rejected Wolves.
