Lazio has found its new midfielder. Reda Belahyane arrived in Rome from Sunday to Monday night and is set to begin a new chapter in his career in Serie A. On Monday, February 3, the Moroccan international will undergo his medical examination at the Villa Mafalda clinic before finalizing his commitment to the Roman club.
Initially, Lazio had explored other options to strengthen its midfield, but faced with difficulties, President Claudio Lotito decided to speed up the Belahyane deal. Despite interest from clubs like Chelsea, Olympique de Marseille, and Rennes, Lazio managed to convince Hellas Verona with an offer of around 9 million euros, with bonuses potentially reaching 5 million euros.
This transfer also marks the reunion between Belahyane and Marco Baroni, the coach who gave him his Serie A debut with Verona six months ago. Under his guidance, the Moroccan midfielder made a name for himself in the team, attracting the attention of several European clubs.
With this transfer, Belahyane signs a four-year contract and joins a team seeking stability and renewed ambitions. His versatile profile and rapid progression in Serie A make him a valuable addition for Lazio, which hopes to benefit from his dynamism and ability to assert himself in duels.
