Lazio is looking for a reinforcement in midfield, but the path that leads to Reda Bellahayane It seems to have gotten complicated. Hellas Verona has set the price for the young Franco-Moroccan playmaker at 20 million euros, one of the revelations of this year's Serie A. The possible sale of the club adds complexity to the negotiation, but in itself the race for the player is very competitive. In addition to Lazio, Napoli are also interested in the midfielder, previously followed by Inter and Milan.
Belahyane, born in 2004, was coached by Marco Baroni in his six months at Verona and attracted attention thanks to his talent and tactical maturity. Despite the consolidated relationships between the president of Verona, Maurizio Setti, and the president of Lazio, Claudio Lotito, the result of numerous deals concluded in recent years (such as those of Cancellieri, Noslin and Casale), the Venetian club is not willing to reduce the own requests. This is reported by the Corriere dello Sport.
The player, formerly of Nice, became a Moroccan international in October, after a journey that saw him represent France's youth teams. Raised in Aubervilliers, he made his debut in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers under the guidance of Walid Regragui, the coach who had taken Morocco to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
