We want to enjoy him, then we'll see what happens."We intend to keep Belotti and president Urbano Cairo signed this important buy-out clause. I think he's worth more than they have offered." Only Inter's Mauro Icardi has scored more goals (14) than Belotti in Serie A so far this term.The 23-year-old's determination has previously seen him likened to the world's best in Cristiano Ronaldo, by Italy boss Gian Piero Ventura. Ventura, who signed Belotti from Palermo during his time in charge of Torino and gave him his Italy debut in a friendly against France last September told Corriere della Sera: "I do not think so. Belotti is someone who wants to get to the top, he is hungry, he wants to improve. "The great champions are those who continue to push themselves, like [Cristiano] Ronaldo or Buffon."</blockquote>
