Contrary to reports from the Italian press last week, OM has not said its last word in the Reda Belahyane case and is still pushing hard to recruit the Hellas Verona midfielder.
Targeted by AC Milan and Lazio, Reda Belahyane is a very popular player in January. The interest of Olympique de Marseille was also mentioned even if last week, the Italian press reported that the Marseille club had withdrawn from discussions. Information contradictory to that delivered this Tuesday by Corriere dello Sport. And for good reason, the transalpine newspaper even claims that the current runner-up of Paris Saint-Germain has submitted the biggest offer to Hellas Verona for Reda Belahyane to date.
Former player of OGC Nice, the 20-year-old Moroccan international shines in Serie A but his club pushes him out in order to replenish its coffers. A departure is therefore almost inevitable and Reda Belahyane is spoiled for choice for the rest of his career since Lazio and AC Milan are also pushing to recruit him in addition to OM. The amount proposed by the Marseille club has not been filtered but the Italian press has revealed in recent hours that the operation should be completed between 15 and 20 million euros including bonuses.
-The man in pole for Reda Belahyane
A hell of a sum that Marseille therefore seems ready to put on the table to recruit this midfielder who would compete with Hojbjerg, Rabiot, Rongier, Nadir or even Koné in the squad available to Roberto De Zerbi. It would be interesting to know if to complete this deal, OM is not waiting for a departure because there is a risk of a traffic jam in this sector of the game while it must be remembered that Marseille is only playing Ligue 1 this year. season. In any case, Medhi Benatia is a fan of his compatriot and with the approval of Pablo Longoria and Roberto De Zerbi, he seems determined to bring Reda Belahyane back to Provence. This file, like that of the center forward, will therefore be closely monitored in the days to come while the winter transfer window is still open for a period of ten days.
