Juventus transfer news: There was a time when Juve were always able to get the best free transfers. However, lately, free transfers haven’t paid good dividends.

But with the arrival of Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria, things are looking good. According TuttoJuvethe Italians have identified another free transfer for the summer.

The report claims that Juventus want Andrea Belotti on a free transfer. The Toro striker is now a free agent after leaving Torino. The 28-year-old wanted a new challenge this summer. Although Torino was keen to keep him.

It’s understandable that the player decided to leave the club. The Italian had previously been linked with top clubs in Europe. However, Toro often demanded huge fees for him. Thus, no club would then match that asking price.

Juventus Transfer News: Why Juve want to sign the Italian

It’s not every day that quality players are available on a free transfer. Over the years, the Turin striker has built up a good reputation. So, with such a good chance, Juve are ready to sign the striker. However, they need to hurry as AS Roma are also interested in him.

It’s not just Juve who need reinforcements in the attacking department. Alvaro Morata recently left the club. He joined the Bianconeri from Atletico Madrid on a two-year loan. Juve also had the option of making his move permanent. But the Spaniard failed to hit the mark.

Thus, the Old Lady has decided not to extend her stay in Turin. They have also re-signed Mosie Kean from Everton. However, the Italian failed to reach the heights expected of him. The signing of Dušan Vlahović provided much-needed goals for Allegri’s side.

The Serb despite his brilliance needs competition. Bellotti is very attached to this. He can serve as a competent replacement for the former Florentina star. While Allegri might also be able to find a way to play them together.

Andrea Belloti the story so far

The Italian burst onto the scene in the 2016/17 season. He scored 28 Serie A goals that season and he was seen as the next big striker. At times, he was often linked with clubs like Chelsea and AC Milan.

However, a move never really materialized. Also over time, interest from other teams dropped in him. Indeed, the following season, he only managed 13 goals. He slightly improved his score by scoring 17 goals but he couldn’t reach the heights of the 2016/17 season.

But he came close by scoring 22 goals in the 2019/20 season. To this, he was also linked with a move away from the club. But the following season he again disappointed with just 13 goals in all competitions.

Last season, he even deteriorated to just 8 goals. Thus, top Italian clubs like Juve and Roma only believe in him because of his two excellent goalscoring seasons. He’s at the peak of his career at 28 and maybe a move to a big club can give him the boost he needs.
