da 888casino: Chelsea have a better chance of signing Torino striker Andrea Belotti than Manchester United due to their standing in Europe, reports Sky Sport Italia.
What’s the word?
da bet vitoria: Last week The Independent reported that the Red Devils are working on a combined £170m deal for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann and Belotti.
However, it seems that Chelsea have now entered the mix, and they may have a big advantage come the end of the season.
Sky Sport Italia claim that Belotti, who has an £84m release clause, will only move to a club that is in the Champions League, which puts Chelsea in a strong position.
Antonio Conte’s men are closing in on the Premier League title as they have a four-point lead over second-placed Tottenham Hotspur with four games left to play.
Champions League football is already guaranteed, but that cannot be said for United, who are one point adrift in a tight battle with Liverpool and Manchester City.
Even if they fail to secure a position via the league route, they can grab a spot by winning the Europa League.
Which is the best option for Belotti?
If it became a straight shootout between Chelsea and United for Beloit’s signature, it would require some serious thinking from the forward.
If only Chelsea can offer Champions League football, then it seems like a no-brainer from the player’s point of view.
However, if United manage to lure Griezmann to Old Trafford, the opportunity to form a devastating attack alongside the Frenchman could be very appealing.
Jose Mourinho is likely to be a striker short, maybe two, next season due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury and the future of Wayne Rooney being uncertain.
With regards to Chelsea’s situation, Diego Costa has been linked with a move away, which would open the door for Belotti.
