Chelsea is speeding up negotiations for Reda Belahyane to replace Cesare Casadei, who is set to join Torino. The London club is negotiating a transfer valued at 15 million euros, including bonuses. Scouts from the Blues were in Venice to observe the Hellas Verona midfielder, who could soon be moving to a new club.
But Chelsea is not alone in the race. Rennes is also interested in the young Moroccan international and is considering taking action. According to information from Gianluca Di Marzio, both clubs are closely monitoring the 19-year-old player, who has made 21 appearances and provided 2 assists in Serie A. Trained in France, Belahyane recently earned his first cap with Morocco in October 2024, during a match against the Central African Republic, where he played for nine minutes. Today, he is emerging as one of the most promising talents in Italian football.
