West Ham United will need to pay €100 million if they are to sign Andrea Belotti from Torino this summer, according to reports in Italy.
The Hammers are on the lookout for a new forward this summer following the departures of Marko Arnautovic and Andy Carroll, with numerous options believed to be under consideration.
According to claims from Tuttosport, as cited in a report from TEAMtalk, Manuel Pellegrini’s side made a club-record bid worth €60 million for Belotti in recent times.
However, they have apparently had this offer rejected, with Torino president Urbano Cairo adamant that he will not let the club’s prized asset depart for anything less than a nine-figure sum.
West Ham have been linked with a plethora of strikers already this summer, with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt man Sebastien Haller believed to have been in the works.
This does not appear to have prevented the Hammers from looking elsewhere, though, with speculation surrounding a possible swoop for Belotti continuing.
