Man City offer Joe Hart as part of Belotti deal

Manchester City have reportedly offered Joe Hart as makeweight in a proposed deal to sign Torino striker Andrea Belotti in the summer.

The England international is currently on a season-long loan with Toro for whom he has impressed during the ongoing campaign.

Belotti, 23, has turned heads across Italy and Europe with his 22 goals in the Serie A, and this has captured the attention of elite English clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea.

According to The Sun, the Citizens are prepared to take advantage of Hart's situation in a bid to lure Belotti to the Etihad this summer.

The Mancunian giants will seek to offer Hart on loan for another season in a move to negotiate a lesser sum for the signing of Belotti.

Belotti currently has a £86m release clause in his contract, but Pep Guardiola will hope to clinch a deal at a reduced fee as he looks to go on yet another spending spree during the summer transfer window.
