Reda Belahyane is on the verge of completing a move to Lazio after initially being linked with a transfer to Stade Rennais.
The Moroccan midfielder, currently at Hellas Verona, has attracted significant interest across Europe, but it is the Serie A club that has secured an agreement for his signing.
Belahyane appeared close to joining Rennes, but a change in the club’s coaching staff seemingly altered their transfer priorities.
Lazio, seizing the opportunity, intensified their pursuit in the final hours of the transfer window and ultimately offered more favourable terms.
Agreement Reached
The Italian side had been monitoring Belahyane for several weeks, but negotiations accelerated late in the window.
Talks with Hellas Verona progressed swiftly, culminating in a deal between the two clubs.
The specifics of the transfer remain undisclosed, but reports suggest the move will be worth around €13 million, including bonuses.
Medical Scheduled in Rome
According to Italian media, Belahyane is expected to arrive in Rome on Monday, 3 February 2025, to undergo a medical examination at the Villa Mafalda clinic.
Once the process is completed, Lazio are set to finalise and officially announce his signing.
The move ensures that Belahyane, who has been a rising talent in midfield, will continue his development in Serie A, as Lazio look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
