Andrea Belotti, born on 20 December 1993 in Italy, is a proficient forward whose prowess is primarily recognised in his role as a striker for Como. He boasts a height of 5ft 11in (1.81m) and carries a commanding weight of 13st 3lb (84kg).
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value sits around a hefty £1.7m. With his contract at Como set to expire on 30 June 2026, there are 12 months of decision-making ahead for both Belotti and his club.
Belotti’s career launched in the 2011-2012 season with AlbinoLeffe in Italy, where he made eight first team appearances and netted a respectable two goals. He then moved to Palermo for the 2013-2014 season, scoring 10 goals from 24 first team appearances. His tenacity persisted into the 2014-2015 season with 38 appearances and six goals to his name.
From 2015-2022, Belotti was quite the sensation at Torino. His first season saw him contribute 12 goals from 35 appearances, but it was the 2016-2017 season that truly underlined his quality, with Belotti registering a stunning 26 goals in 35 appearances. Over the subsequent seasons, he maintained strong and consistent performance records, scoring ten, fifteen, sixteen, thirteen, and eight goals across the next five seasons respectively.
In the 2022-2023 season, Belotti found a new home at Roma. He racked up 31 first team appearances in his inaugural season and contributed three goals to the team's tally the following year from 14 appearances.
After a short stint at Fiorentina, scoring three goals in 15 appearances in the 2023-2024 season, Belotti made his way to Como. His performance there in the 2024-2025 season was modest, scoring twice in 18 appearances. His employment period in Portugal’s Benfica in the same season witnessed him making 14 appearances and hitting the back of the net three times.
While Belotti has never donned the hoops of Celtic, his impressive track record and evident grit shown throughout his career make him a player any true football admirer can appreciate. Wherever his career takes him post-Como, spectators can expect passionate performances and a wholehearted approach to the beautiful game.
