Dalian Yifang make huge €110 million offer for Immobile-Belotti duo

Chinese Super League club Dalian Yifang are looking to bolster their attacking ranks and money will be the least of their concerns, if the report from Calcio Mercato (via Sky Sports) is to be believed.

The Chinese club will offer €110 million for striker duo Ciro Immobile of Lazio and Andrea Belotti of Torino. They are willing to offer €60 million to Lazio for Immobile and €50 million to Torino for Belotti.

Yifang have been linked with a variety of European aces and very recently, they were reported to be eyeing up a swap deal involving Yannick Carrasco and Antonio Candreva. However, that idea did not materialize.

The report also adds that the Serie A clubs have rebuffed the offers that were tabled. Belotti and Immobile are very important to their respective clubs and they are not willing to upset the rhythm of their teams and jeopardize their domestic and cup campaigns in a blind pursuit of money.
