Pisa interested in Belotti after Benfica loan experience
The 31-year-old made the transfer from Roma to Como for €4.5m in 2024 and was loaned to Benfica six months later.
He made relatively little impact, with four goals and one assist in 24 competitive games for the Portuguese side, including two appearances in the FIFA Club World Cup.
His contract with Como runs to June 2026, so but the veteran striker is not part of their plans under Cesc Fabregas.
Belotti looking towards Pisa
Official: Andrea Belotti joins Benfica on loan from Como.
According to Calciomercato.com, the most likely next destination for Il Gallo is Pisa, who just earned promotion from Serie B and will be coached by Alberto Gilardino.
There are initial negotiations taking place, although so far there is no agreement.
Other options that could give Belotti more regular playing time would be in Serie B, with several clubs showing an interest.
The former Palermo, Torino and Fiorentina centre-forward scored 114 goals in 348 Serie A appearances, along with 32 assists.

Former Gunner named as Premier League club captain
Just a couple of weeks after signing for the club, former Gunner Granit Xhaka has been named the new captain of Sunderland AFC. Photo via Granit Xhaka joined Sunderland AFC on a three-year deal in late July, leaving Bayer Leverkusen after two seasons and three trophies with the German club. Xhaka's new club have clearly already taken to him, as just a fortnight after his arrival he's been named their club captain. 'It makes me incredibly proud to be captain of this Club and of this team,' Xhaka said. 'I hope to show my leadership on and off the pitch, helping my team-mates in the training ground and across the Club. 'To be part of Sunderland's history, alongside some of the names who have worn the armband before, is an honour. People who know me know exactly what they'll get – I'm someone who demands a lot. I'm a winner and I want to win – and I expect the same from my team-mates.' Photo byXhaka had also worn the captain's armband at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Arsenal, though perhaps the less said the better about the latter stint. The midfielder is also wearing the number 34 shirt at Sunderland, just as he did at Arsenal. Sunderland spent in the region of €20m (£17.2m) for Xhaka, and they clearly intend for him to be a key part of their team in 2025/26. Photo byBefore his move to Leverkusen, Xhaka spent seven years in the Premier League with Arsenal. The 32-year-old won two FA Cups and two Community Shields with the Gunners. 2025/26 will bring his first competitive fixtures playing against his old club, with the two clubs set to meet on the weekend of November 8-9th.

🚨 Napoli end pre-season with narrow victory over Olympiacos
Serie A title holders Napoli have rounded off their pre-season preparations with a narrow 2-1 victory over Greek side Politano 16', Lucca 53' ; Chiquinho 90' Antonio Conte's side opened the scoring in the first half with an effort from winger Matteo Politano. There was concern for the hosts before the break, however, as striker Romelu Lukaku was forced off with what appeared to be a thigh problem. His replacement, Lorenzo Lucca, scored Napoli's second and final goal of the evening early in the second-half, following some clever play from Kevin De Bruyne. Conte's side appeared to be heading for a clean sheet, but conceded a late consolation as the clock ticked over into stoppage time, stemming from a Vanja Milinković-Savić mistake. Napoli will begin their Serie A title defence next weekend with a trip to face Sassuolo. Their first five league fixtures also includes tricky tests against Fiorentina and AC Milan. 📸 Giuseppe Bellini - 2025 Getty Images

Two English giants want to sign Lookman in addition to Arsenal
Great English interest in the talented Nigerian Getty Images The Nigerian international's future remains uncertain, but the former Everton player believes he wants to leave Atalanta for a fresh start amid interest from a number of major clubs around the world, including Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool. Great interest from English clubs other than Arsenal Although the Gunners' interest has been clearly stated and widely reported in the official media, there are several other English clubs interested in signing the player, including Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur have also recently joined the race. The race for Ademola Lookman's signature is intensifying, with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa now joining Arsenal in pursuit of the Nigerian international. However, Serie A giants Inter Milan currently lead the chase for the in-demand forward, according to Sports Boom reports. Since his 2022 move from RB Leipzig to Atalanta, the 27-year-old has transformed into one of Europe's most dangerous attackers. His remarkable 2023/24 campaign yielded 20 goals and 7 assists across 40 appearances, highlighted by a stunning Europa League final hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen. These exploits earned Lookman the prestigious 2024 African Footballer of the Year award and cemented his status as one of the continent's premier talents. With multiple top clubs now vying for his services, the upcoming transfer window could see one of Europe's most hotly-contested battles for the prolific forward's signature.
