Torino's sporting director Gianluca Petrachi has claimed the club had turned down a £56m bid from Arsenal for star striker Andrea Belotti.
He then insisted Torino are not prepared to sell the prolific forward, who has 17 goals in 21 matches for club and country this season, for anything less than the release clause added to the contract he signed last month -- €100m.
Belotti has reportedly also been watched by Manchester United, prompting Torino president Urbano Cairo to slap on a 100m-euro buy-out clause for clubs outside Italy when he tied the 22-year-old front man to a new deal until 2021 last month.
