Andrea Belotti’s move to Benfica is edging closer to completion as the Portuguese club works on finalizing the last details of the transfer. The Italian striker, currently with Como, is set to embark on a new chapter in his career in Portugal’s Primeira Liga.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Como, who hold Belotti’s registration, are keen on a permanent transfer for the 31-year-old forward. However, they are also open to a loan deal with an easily achievable obligation to buy clause. The two clubs are currently in discussions regarding the specific terms of the transfer.
Should an agreement on the obligation to buy prove elusive, Belotti is likely to join Benfica on a loan deal. This arrangement would allow both parties to reassess the situation in June, potentially leading to a permanent move at that time.
Belotti’s impending transfer to Benfica marks a significant move for the experienced striker, who has struggled to make a substantial impact at Como this season. The move to one of Portugal’s top clubs could provide Belotti with a fresh opportunity to revitalize his career and contribute to Benfica’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
