Rabat – La Lazio has joined the race to sign Reda Belahyane, the young Moroccan midfielder who has become a standout player for Hellas Verona.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, a trusted voice in the football transfer market, says that talks between the two clubs are already underway as Lazio seeks to secure the promising talent.
“Lazio are in active talks with Verona to sign Moroccan midfielder Reda Belahyane. Negotiations underway between the two clubs to agree on the fee, talks ongoing. Lazio are trying to anticipate other clubs keen on Belahyane,” Romano posted on X.
Belahyane’s performances in Serie A have caught attention in the footballing world. Despite joining Hellas Verona only recently, the Atlas Lion has drawn interest from top European clubs, including Napoli and Olympique de Marseille.
Lazio, however, appears determined to take the lead in the race for his transfer.
Currently sitting fourth in the Serie A table, Lazio could offer Belhayane a step up in his career. Verona, sitting in 17th place, may not provide the platform the midfielder needs to grow further.
A move to Lazio would place him in a team competing for European spots, potentially boosting his development on and off the field.
Belahyane developed his skills at Olympique Pantin, Aubervilliers, Red Star, and Montfermeil FC before joining Nice’s youth academy in 2019.
His talent earned him a call-up to the Moroccan national team in October 2024, where he made his debut in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Central African Republic.
His next transfer remains uncertain, with several clubs still in the picture.
Whether Lazio will succeed or face stiff competition from rivals remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, football fans and scouts alike are watching closely as Belahyane’s future takes shape.
