Speaking of the decision to turn down Arsenal's monster offer, Petrachi explained, "The offer does not reflect the value of Belotti".
Well, fair play to Arsenal for bidding 65m€ for Belotti. And fair play to Torino for turning it down

The 23-year-old Belotti has also broke into the Italian national team recently, continuing his fine domestic form at international level with three goals in five caps for the Azzurri.
