Rabat – Italian club Lazio has confirmed the signing of Moroccan midfielder Reda Belahyane coming from Hellas Verona on a loan deal with a €13-million obligation to buy at the end of the season.
The Serie A side announced the news on their social media accounts.
Belahyane arrived in Rome this morning to undergo his medical exams before officially completing his transfer.
The 24-year-old only joined Hellas Verona in January last year for a reported €500,000. Since then, he’s impressed with two assists in 22 appearances for the club this season.
The up-and-coming defensive midfielder signed his first professional contract with Nice in June 2021 at the young age of 17.
Belhayane is quite a technical and creative player, aggressive and willing to win the ball back. The Paris native started at INF Clairefontaine before joining Nice in the summer of 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.
