Reda Belahyane could return to France as Angers make Lazio approach

Reda Belahyane could make a return to Ligue 1, with Angers SCO interested in signing the Moroccan midfielder from Lazio on loan before the transfer window closes.

Angers are looking to strengthen their midfield and have identified Belahyane as a player who could add quality and experience to their squad. The 22-year-old is already familiar with French football, having previously played for OGC Nice before moving to Italy.

The French club are now considering a move for the Lazio midfielder as they look to give him the opportunity to play a more prominent role. Belahyane’s limited involvement in Italy has made a potential return to France an attractive option for the player.

At Lazio, the Morocco international has struggled to establish himself as a regular. Last season, he made 14 appearances, but those matches amounted to only 612 minutes on the pitch.

That lack of consistent playing time is a key factor behind Angers’ interest. The club believe a move to Ligue 1 could provide Belahyane with the regular football needed to regain momentum in his development.

Belahyane previously made his name in France with Nice, where his performances helped him attract attention before his move to Lazio. A return to the league would therefore see him come back to a competition he already knows, while also giving him the chance to take on a more important role.

Angers are keen to use the final part of the transfer window to strengthen their midfield, and Belahyane has emerged as a potential solution. His experience of Ligue 1, combined with his age and previous performances in France, makes him an appealing option for the club.

For Belahyane, the proposed move would represent an opportunity to put regular football back at the centre of his career. Rather than remaining on the fringes at Lazio, a loan spell with Angers could allow him to play more frequently and continue his development.

The Moroccan midfielder’s future therefore remains one to watch as the transfer window approaches its conclusion. Angers are working on the possibility of bringing him back to France, while Belahyane could be offered the chance to revive his career in Ligue 1.
