"Big Rooster" Belotti , who was born in 1993, is a famous player in Serie A . The 29-year-old player played in Serie B and Serie C in his early years. It was not until 2014 that he made his debut in Serie A.
Since his debut with the Turin first team in September 2015, he has never left the team. In the past seven years, he has played 251 games for Turin, scored 113 goals and provided 28 assists. He can create one goal in less than two games at a very high level. In the past season, he completed 100 goals in Serie A.
In his peak season of 2016/17, Belotti scored 26 goals in the league and provided 5 assists. Back then, Belotti was a player who could volley and score a world-beating goal with . It is a pity that because the club's strength is really limited, he never had a chance to show off his skills in the European competition.
can maintain double-digit goals in Serie A for a long time, which shows that he is an excellent forward, but there is still a big gap between him and Serie A's top forwards. You know, players must prove their strength in the European competition. But unfortunately, Belotti couldn't do this.
The team has been wandering in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A for a long time. It was not until the 2018/19 season that the team ranked 7th in Serie A and qualified for the Europa League . In the Europa League qualifiers in the summer of 2019, Turin defeated Debrecen and the Belarusian team Shakhtar Soligorsk to enter the final round.
But unfortunately, facing the Premier League powerful team Wolves , Turin lost with a total score of 3 to 5 and ultimately missed the Europa League. That was the closest Turin got to the European war, but it was a pity that it still missed it. Belotti participated in 6 qualifying games and scored 6 goals and 1 assist.
Belotti won the attention of many European powers by killing all sides in Serie A that year. However, Turin's top management seemed unwilling to let him go, and even put a price tag of 100 million euros on him, which was a rare commodity, scaring away many buyers. At that time, the European League market had not yet begun to pay a premium, and such a high price was indeed outrageous.
Moreover, Serie A itself has many parallel-imported shooters, so selling half a million dollars is considered a sky-high price, let alone 100 million.
Belotti is also very dissatisfied with his long-term inability to play in European competitions. He promised as early as last year that he would leave. In the winter transfer window at the beginning of this year, players almost transferred to Milan . At the time, it was said that Turin wanted to stop the loss in time and let him leave at a low price, but the deal ultimately fell through.
After the contract expired this summer, the player left the team as a free agent without incurring any transfer fees. This player who used to be worth 100 million is now worth zero transfer fee, which is really disappointing. And Belotti does not lack a new partner at the moment. According to current news, , Manchester United, and Monaco are all his potential next clubs. However, Ligue 1 giant Monaco is closer to signing him.
Monaco finished third in the league last season, and the team won the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League qualifying round. If he joins the team, it means that Belotti finally has hope of making his European debut at the age of 29. This may be a new step forward for him. We will also test the quality of this efficient shooter in the Europa League or Champions League.
Monaco has made forward adjustments this summer. Japanese international Minamino Takumi has joined the team. If Belotti arrives, this strong and flexible player will become the team's frontcourt partner and make all the difference in Ligue 1.
