Italian giants prepare to undercut Manchester United with £34m deal for striker
NAPOLI want to beat Manchester United to Torino striker Andrea Belotti’s signature - even though they will offer less than his asking price.
Andrea Belotti scores STUNNING goal against Bologna
Manchester United have been linked with Belotti for weeks, with Italian newspapers claiming they are closely tracking the 22-year-old.
Everton are also said to have scouted out the forward.
Belotti has greatly impressed in a Torino shirt this season and also made his Italy debut in September.
He boasts three goals in five games already for the Azzurri.

Torino want to lock Belotti down to a new contract that would include a £43million release clause.
But Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claim Napoli are confident they can sign the burgeoning youngster for just £34m.
Napoli have so far failed to adequately replace Gonzalo Higuain, who was sold to Juventus for £75m this summer.
Arkadiusz Milik was signed but the Poland international has been out since suffering an injury in early October.
Belotti is supposedly a viable option for Napoli in January but Torino are hoping to keep their star man until at least the end of the campaign.
