LEONARDO BONUCCI took his four-year old son to meet his idol Andrea Belotti at dinner after crying when he was forced to wear a Juventus top during the Scudetto title celebrations.

Little Lorenzo Bonucci is bizarrely a mad fan of the Old Lady's fiercest rivals - Torino, and was gleaming with pride as he posed for a picture with the 23-year-old.

He captured the hearts of Italians, and in an attempt to cheer him up, his dad tried to make amends by taking him to meet the star striker.

Bonucci isn't bothered in the slightest his son is a die-hard Torino supporter, and took to Instagram after the meal.

In a caption alongside a picture of Lorenzo and Belotti, he said: "Tonight I had fun, not like at the scudetto party!"

The 30-year-old centre-back regularly uploads pictures of his son showing his love for his club, in one he snapped his two children wearing a Juventus and Torino kit.

In another he attended a Torino match with Lorenzo, saying: "We are at the stadium, I do the cheering and dad is studying his next opponents."

And in another post of his four-year-old child, he took a photo of him proudly grinning with an Andrea Belotti football sticker, and reenacting his iconic celebration.

Unfortunately for Lorenzo, his hero may be about to jump ship from Torino as Jose Mourinho is lining up a summer swoop for the lethal marksman.

He has banged in 27 goals in all competitions this season, and has netted three times in seven appearances for the Italian national team.
