Belotti seems set to put pen to paper and sign a contract extension, according to reports.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Andrea Belotti ‘s agent, Sergio Lancini, has held talks with the Turin-based club over the possibility of a contract extension with a pay rise.
The report claims that negotiations seem to be coming to a conclusion and the 22-year-old is set to pledge his foreseeable future to Torino.
Any new deal would mean that Belotti would remain with ‘il Toros’ until 2021 earning around £710,000 a season.
Torino are also set to include a buy-out clause in the new agreement of £44 million.
On Monday night it was reported that Torino’s president Urbano Cairo was set to open talks with the Italian’s representatives to discuss a renewal.
Torino were reportedly looking to extend the current deal of the forward, hoping it would ward off the interest of Liverpool and Arsenal.
Several European clubs have been keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old-whose contract runs until 2020 this season.
The Italian frontman has been in scintillating form so far this season, netting six goals and two assists in only nine outings for club and country.
Belotti’s performances have brought him to the attention of some of European football’s heavyweights, as Calciomercato reported Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are preparing to bid £20 million for the Italian this summer to boost their attacking options.
Torino are desperate to keep hold of their talisman and will hope an offer of a five-year deal that will include a huge release clause will be enough to convince the striker to stay and thwart Liverpool and Arsenal’s attempts to sign him.
The former Palermo ace moved to the Turin club in 2015 and has found the net 17 times in 41 outings.
