Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Andrea Belotti and Alexis Sanchez

Torino president Urbano Cairo will soon hold talks with Real Madrid regarding a sensational £85 million deal that could see Arsenal target Andrea Belotti move to the Spanish giants.

That's according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t TalkSport), with Cairo set to travel to the Spanish capital and Los Blancos said to be eager to replace Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata, who could both leave this summer.

The striker has accrued 17 goals and four assists in all competitions this season, as well as bagging a further three goals in five appearances for Italy.

His form saw him rewarded with a new deal in December, which includes an enormous buyout clause, per BT Sport's James Horncastle:

Belotti, 23, has enjoyed a revelatory year in Turin after notching 11 goals in the second half of last season—only Gonzalo Higuain scored more Serie A goals in 2016.

The forward is strong in the air and good with both feet, so he's capable of scoring all manner of goals, and he's a workhorse too.

He makes intelligent runs into space to lose defenders, but he also has the physicality to shrug them off—he should be able to handle the rigours of the Premier League.

Here's a look at some of his highlights this season:

Though it seems unlikely any side will be willing to buy him out of his contract just yet, Los Merengues' interest could make it difficult for the Gunners to land him.

Meanwhile, according to the Mirror's John Cross, Juventus have declared their interest in signing Alexis Sanchez and are "confident of gaining enough financial backing to put together a package to rival anything that Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid can offer."

The forward has been in sensational form this year, racking up 17 goals and 16 assists in 31 appearances.

Sanchez has under 18 months left on his deal. He is said to have been offered a new contract in the region of £180,000 per week but has yet to put pen to paper.

Bleacher Report UK's James McNicholas believes the breakdown of Arsenal's title challenge, thanks to a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, could cause Sanchez to rethink signing a new deal:

A player of his ability should be challenging for major honours every season, particularly as he nears 30.

The Gunners haven't put in a serious challenge to win the Premier League or UEFA Champions League in more than a decade, whereas the Bianconeri have won five Serie A titles in a row and reached the Champions League final in 2015.

Sanchez would have a much greater chance of winning trophies if he were to join Juve—he'd likely give any offer they made a great deal of consideration.
