Italian media market news: Turin has accepted Inter's offer of 15 million euros for Belotti, and Inter will negotiate with Belotti.
Inter CEO Marotta met with the president of Turin over the weekend, and Turin asked for 20 million euros, but Marotta managed to get the Turin side to accept the offer of 15 million euros (about). Belotti joined Turin from Palermo in 2015 for 7.5 million euros, making 230 appearances for Turin and scoring 106 goals. In the first round of Serie A this season against true blue and black, Bellotti also scored a goal.
Although Lazio striker Correa is still the first choice for Inter to find a gun, the author believes that Belotti is economical and grounded, which is more suitable for Inter today. There are three reasons for this:
Belotti's signature celebratory action
First, the arrival of Belotti can improve Inter's offensive play
After Lukaku left, Dzeko stood in the center position. However, at the advanced age of Dzeko, frequent physical contact and confrontation with opposing defenders in the game will increase Dzeko's risk of injury. Limited by height and physical fitness, Lautaro's role as a forward fulcrum is not prominent. And Lautaro is talking with Inter about a contract extension, whether it can be negotiated, and whether he will leave the team next year after the negotiation is done. Once Lautaro leaves, Belotti can do a good job with Dzeko to complete the role of Inter's forward fulcrum.
Belotti, who is only 1.81 meters tall, can fight and grab, which plays a good role as a bridgehead
Last season, Belotti made 33 starts and 2 substitutes, scored 13 goals and 6 assists, created excellent opportunities 13 times (No. 1 in Serie A, Lautaro 9 times), averaged 2.4 successes per game (well above Lautaro's 0.7), and averaged 0.9 steals per game (higher than Lautaro's 0.7). From the data point of view, if the same let Belotti to complete the task of the forward fulcrum, he can completely replace Lautaro.
Second, Belotti is cheap and affordable, and the cost performance is high
The boss gave me a price of 100 million euros? Joke!
If there is any active player in Italian football who is most like the mix of Vieri and Inzaghi? It must be Belotti.
1. Be physically strong like Vieri
As the team's main center, if you don't have a strong enough body, it is difficult to support the entire team's forward line. Belotti was not tall, but she was strong enough. The following picture shows this shocking volley, if there is no strong enough body, it is impossible to complete such a difficult shooting action, let alone score. Does a goal like this remind you of Ibrahimovic?
A shocking kick in the air
Being able to push and score goals despite the opponent's pushing and shoving and physical confrontation is all based on Belotti's good physical qualities.
Belotti shot the spot, a model of miracles.
In addition, since the 2016-2017 season, Belotti has missed a total of 19 games in 5 seasons plus the new crown infection, an average of 3.8 games per season, which can fully prove that Belotti is not a glassman, and Inter must not introduce a second Sensi.
Belotti's history of injury
2, like Inzaghi is good at grabbing points in front of the door
Although he is a center forward, Belotti is not a standing center, and it is also his characteristic to rely on flexible movement under his feet to complete the goal to grab a point shot.
Belotti ran like a cat, bypassing all the defenders to grab the point and break the goal.
Belotti judged the ball accurately and scored successfully.
Although this ball has an element of luck, if you are keen to catch the fighter, the header will break the goal.
In the 2019-2020 season, a Torino corner kick was hoisted into the Inter penalty area, Handa received the ball and got out of hand, and Belotti's astute leak-picking push scored. In that match, Belotti was targeted by Inter as a centre forward, but still successfully fought three times, contributing a goal and hitting the crossbar with a first-half shot. If this transfer is successful, Inter will continue the tradition of who scores the ball and who I buy...
Handa let go of her hand and gave the red babe a gift
3. Have a certain ability to control the ball and dribble, and be able to make balls for teammates
The modern center is not only about being the fulcrum and bridgehead of the team, but also about being able to control the ball and make the ball for teammates, and Belotti has this characteristic.
Facing the opposing multi-player defense, Bellotti was calm.
Belotti dribbled into the box and crossed, assisting teammates in scoring.
4, there are not many families, and the salary is moderate
At present, Belotti's annual salary in Turin is about 3.5 million euros, and although the Turin boss has set a penalty of 100 million euros for him, because of the expiration of his contract next summer, Belotti, who will turn 28 at the end of the year, is bound to leave the team. If you don't want to run out of money, Turin is the best choice to collect money and release people this summer. Considering that Belotti has completed a feat of 26 goals and 7 assists in 35 single-season appearances in Serie A, inter can really earn a real deal if they can get a full striker for the Italian national team in the form of cash + players or loan + buyouts.
Belotti: I'm on the road
Third, Belotti's hukou advantage
Another important reason why Belotti is suitable for Inter is that it comes with its own hukou attributes. In the process of Inter's localization in recent years, it has become a general trend to continuously absorb Italian players. Barrera and Bastoni have grown into the main players of the Italian national team, and dilmaco's recycling also represents a trend of Inter reusing local players, and Belotti is also in line with Inter's long-term strategic goals if he can reach the team. Write more here, some fans ridiculed Belotti in the European Cup empty door, Lautaro in the Copa America is also empty door ah, there is a state of ups and downs is normal.
Written in the end: Whether from a technical and tactical point of view or Inter's localization strategy, Bellotti meets Inter's forward configuration requirements. The transfer period is approaching, how to maintain the impact of Inter's front line under the difficult situation of monetary tightening, and look forward to the Inter uniform team to play a good battle to attract reinforcements.
I'm a black star and look forward to meeting more Inter fans!
