Revelation of the season at Hellas Verona, Reda Belahyane has caught the eye of many teams in Europe. Olympique de Marseille is one of the clubs paying attention to its progress, as are Manchester City, Lazio and the two Milan teams.
True to himself, Pablo Longoria will not sit idly by during the winter transfer window. The president of Olympique de Marseille, a fan of squad renewal, should make some additional adjustments to the group. In particular, we should expect reinforcements on the sides of the defense, two positions where coach Roberto De Zerbi must deal with a limited number of solutions. The Italian coach does not have this problem in the midfield. But that doesn't stop management from considering signing a midfielder.
Failed in Nice
Indeed, Tuttosport cites Olympique de Marseille among Reda Belahyane's courtiers. The 20-year-old midfielder revealed himself this season in the Hellas Verona jersey, a few months after a disappointment with OGC Nice. The player trained at the Gym, who appeared only once in Ligue 1 during the previous year, was not part of coach Francesco Farioli's plans. The former French U18 international, recently called up to Morocco, left the Riviera club last January as part of a transfer for 500,000 euros, just before the end of his contract. His early adventure in Italy did not allow him to increase his playing time.
But something clicked this season under the watchful eye of Olympique Marseille, Manchester City, Lazio and the two Milan teams. Quite a competition for the Marseillais who undoubtedly did not miss the last statement from Sean Sogliano, the sporting director of Hellas Verona. “ Belahyane showed good thingsreacted the leader quoted by FC Inter News. If it were up to me, I'd hold everyone back. But there are situations that go beyond my control. We will see in January what is best for the good of the club. Value is decided by buyers. Afterwards it will be up to the president to decide. » It is well known that some offers cannot be refused.
