AS Roma's Italian international striker Andrea Belotti signed for Fiorentina on loan until the end of the season on Thursday, the two Serie A clubs said.

The 30-year-old, who has scored 12 times in 44 appearances for his country, has found playing time hard to come by at Roma in the lead up to Euro 2024.

Belotti was in the Italy squad which beat England on penalties to be crowned European champions in 2021.

Belotti signed for Roma from Torino in the summer of 2022 and scored 10 times for the capital club.

Roma are presently fifth in Serie A, one point and a place above Fiorentina who are at Lecce on Friday.
