Roma eye move for €30m Italy international Belotti as Mourinho gives green light to transfer

The Portuguese has identified the Torino striker as an ideal long-term replacement for Edin Dzeko but his price tag could be a sticking point

Roma are ready to make a move for Torino striker Andrea Belotti after head coach Jose Mourinho approved the Italy international as a top transfer target, Goal can confirm.

Belotti, who is part of Italy's squad for the European Championship, has been with the Turn club since 2015 but could be leaving in the summer with his contract due to expire in 2022.

Torino will be looking to recoup around €30 million (£26m/€37m) for their star striker, although Mourinho's side will look to pay significantly less given the forward's contract situation.
