Recruited by Hellas Verona from OGC Nice last January for less than a million euros, Reda Belahyane is on OM's shelves. Medhi Benatia really likes his profile.
This winter, Olympique de Marseille should not do anything crazy during the transfer window. After having invested heavily last summer, the Marseille leaders will not spend lavishly and sales will be essential in order to strengthen the workforce at Roberto De Zerbi's disposal. This does not prevent the OM recruitment unit from working at full capacity and identifying several potential recruits, whether for this winter or for next summer. With this in mind, a Moroccan midfielder caught the eye of Medhi Benatia and its president Pablo Longoria.
Recruited for 500,000 euros by Hellas Verona from OGC Nice in January 2024, Reda Belahyane is a target of the Marseille club according to information from the La Tribune OM sur X account. Our colleague indicates that the Olympian staff has several “young with high potential” in the viewfinder, including the Moroccan international who is only 20 years old. A midfielder with a colossal volume of play, Reda Belahyane has established himself as an indisputable starter for Hellas Verona in Serie A with 17 matches in all competitions, three quarters of which as a starter.
OM very interested in Reda Bellahayane
In this matter, Olympique de Marseille can hope to count on the Moroccan connection with its sports director Medhi Benatia to facilitate things, but it will first be necessary to convince the Italian club to let go of the player born in Aubervilliers. And it will not be easy because Hellas Verona, currently 16th in Serie A, is fighting to maintain its position and has no interest in parting with one of its best players during the season. For OM leaders, it will probably be necessary to wait until next summer before launching a raid to secure the services of Reda Belahyane. A player whose market value, currently estimated at 10 million euros, could drop sharply in the event of Hellas Verona's relegation and who also arouses the desire of several major Italian clubs including AC Milan and Lazio.
