Marseille Makes €10 Million Bid for Verona’s Belahyane

Olympique de Marseille have set its sights on Hellas Verona’s promising midfielder Reda Belahyane, submitting an initial offer of €10 million for the 21-year-old Moroccan international. This move highlights Verona’s continued success in discovering and developing young talents from around the world.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Belahyane, who joined Verona from Nice in January 2024, has quickly become a key player for manager Paolo Zanetti. The young midfielder has impressed in Serie A this season, making 19 appearances and providing two assists, catching the attention of several top clubs.

Marseille’s interest in Belahyane represents an opportunity for the player to return to France, where he began his professional career. However, Verona is not eager to part with their rising star and has set an asking price of €15 million, €5 million more than Marseille’s initial offer.

As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can bridge the gap in their valuations. Verona’s sporting director, Sean Sogliano, is already considering potential replacements, with Marko Pasalic of Rijeka, brother of Atalanta midfielder Mario Pasalic, emerging as a favored option.
