Chelsea not in the race for Belahyane?
Fabrizio Romano claimed that Chelsea was not currently in talks with or with Belahyane nor with his club, theHellas Vérone. According to him, the Moroccan international would in no way be close to joining the Blues this winter. “No discussions took place between Chelsea and Belahyane”insisted Romano, specifying that the English club had no intention of finalizing a transfer for this player in January.
This leaves the way open for other suitors. Lazio therefore remains in a favorable position to sign the player trained in Nice. Romano recently indicated that the Lazio were in talks with Belahyanealthough a first offer of 10 million euros was deemed insufficient by Hellas Verona, which demanded at least 15 million euros.
