The AC Milan club has reportedly set its sights on Reda Belahyane from Hellas Verona.
As revealed yesterday by the Italian newspaper Il Corriere di Verona, confirmed also by Tuttosport, the Rossoneri are considering the 20-year-old Moroccan talent as a potential replacement for the uncertain Ismael Bennacer, who is expected to return from a serious calf injury sustained during the first international break of the season in January.
Besides Milan, who is interested in Reda Belahyane?
In January's transfer market window, there will be a derby between the Rossoneri and their rivals Inter for the Moroccan, who is considered by Nerazzurri colleagues to be the ideal profile to replace former Empoli player Asllani, who, despite a contract extension until 2028, has yet to fully convince Simone Inzaghi and the management, as relayed via Milannews.it.
What is Reda Belahyane's value?
Belahyane would fit within the parameters of both AC Milan and Inter ownerships, not only in terms of age and tactics but also, and especially, economically. Despite his value having risen significantly compared to a year ago, Verona is expected to value Belahyane at around 10 million euros. It is a figure that is very logical and reachable for the two Serie A rivals.
According to Tuttosport again, the Hellas Verona midfielder is an Under-22 player and, as such, in Serie A, he could be used freely without the need to be registered in the main squad list, just like Yunus Musah.
In a potential Champions League list, however, a non-EU player would need to be removed to make room for him.
