Inter Milan Eyeing Up Hellas Verona Breakout Star – But Only On One Condition | OneFootball

Inter Milan are considering a move for Hellas Verona Reda Belahyane, but only in the event that Kristjan Asllani is to leave.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCinterNews.

Belahyane is one player who has enjoyed an impressive start to the season.

The 20-year-old joined Hellas Verona from Ligue 1 side Nice during the summer transfer window.

And the Gialloblu’s intuition has paid off significantly already with Belahyane’s performances.

Belahyane has established himself as a key part of the Verona starting eleven under coach Paolo Zanetti.

And this has also earned c his first call-ups for the Morocco international team.

Despite being just twenty years of age, Belahyane’s playing style has shown significant maturity.

The Verona midfielder has named former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante as one of his major inspirations.

And Tuttosport also note major similarities to the style of play of current Arsenal and former Chelsea, Napoli, and Verona midfielder Jorginho.

Inter Eye Up Verona Midfielder Reda Belahyane If Asllani Leaves

Inevitably, Belahyane’s style of play has already put him in high demand with some big teams.

Top sides both in Serie A and around Europe consider the Moroccan international midfielder’s profile to be extremely important, as he can set the tempo in a possession-based system.

Inter are one of the most notable suitors for Belhayane in Serie A.

The Nerazzurri certainly rely on a player with the Moroccan’s qualities both in possession and defensively in their 3-5-2 system.

However, at the moment Inter have two players in the role. There is Hakan Calhanoglu as the main starter, and then Kristjan Asllani as the understudy.

Therefore, if that pair is to remain at the Nerazzurri then they would not move for Belahyane.

On the other hand, Asllani has yet to fully cement his place at Inter in over two seasons at the club.

If the Nerazzurri were to lose their patience with Asllani then they could sell him next summer.

Therefore, there could be a vacancy for a young holding midfielder.

And in that case, reports the Corriere, Verona midfielder Belahyane would be foremost among Inter’s targets.
