Lazio have reportedly struck an accord with the entourage of Hellas Verona youngster Reda Belahyane.

The Search for a New Midfielder

After securing the services of Arijon Ibrahimovic who became the club’s first January signing, the Aquile are still keen to land a new central midfielder. While Jacopo Fazzini was determined to join, Lazio couldn’t find an agreement with Empoli which stalled the operation, while luring Cesare Casadei from Chelsea remains a challenging task.

Lazio Secure Accord with Reda Belahyane

Therefore, Belahyane could be the Biancocelesti’s most realistic option, and the management is reportedly making important strides on this particular track. According to FootMercato, Lazio and Belahyane have reached an agreement on personal terms. Moreover, the Italian capital side has presented Verona with an official offer and is currently awaiting a response.

The Figures

La Lazio Siamo Noi reveals that the club has put €13.5 million on the table in addition to bonuses that could raise the sum to €15 million. Lazio president Claudio Lotito shares a great rapport with his Verona counterpart Maurizio Setti, but despite the imminent change in the ownership of the Gialloblu club, the capital side remains confident in sealing the deal, insists the source.

The Background on Belahyane

Belahyane is a 20-year-old French Morrocan midfielder who rose through the ranks of OGC Nice before being poached by Verona last January for less than €1 million. The young Regista made his debut last season under the guidance of Marco Baroni, but has now become a pillar in Paolo Zanetti’s tactical system.

  1. I would much prefer to sign Fazzini who is more physical with the same amount of money. Belahyane reminds me of Macros Antonio who is also weak in physical.

  2. They have sold the club today apparently, I don’t know what happens next. What’s the situation with Cherky?
