Moroccan midfielder Reda Belahyane has caught the eye of big Serie A teams after a great season with Hellas Verona. The 20-year-old's value has jumped to €5 million, according to Transfermarkt, before the 2025 winter transfer period.
This season, Belahyane has played in 13 games in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, providing two assists and averaging an impressive 5.2 interceptions per match. His stellar defensive abilities and 55% duels success rate have enhanced his reputation as a talented midfield player.
Calcio Mercato claims that Verona is open to bids ranging from €8 million to €10 million, and that AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Lazio are eager to sign the young player. Belahyane , who only paid €500,000 to join Verona from Nice in January 2024, has seen a sharp increase in value.
When the midfielder earned his Morocco international debut during the African Cup of Nations qualifying in October 2024, it further cemented his growing reputation. Amir Richardson, Azzedine Ounahi, and Sofyan Amrabat are among the well-established players vying for a regular position in the Moroccan midfield.
A move to a top Serie A club could provide Belahyane the platform to further elevate his career and stake his claim as a key player for both club and country.
