We talked about Rafik Belghali a couple of weeks ago and can now confirm top Italian clubs set their sights on the Verona right-back, including Juventus, Inter and Roma.
The Algerian with a Belgian passport has been a major protagonist with Verona so far this season and is helping their climb up the table with back-to-back wins.
This operation cost €1.5m plus bonuses at the time from Mechelen, and now his value on the transfer market has increased by at least a factor of 10.
If we were to suggest around €15m for his price-tag, we wouldn’t be far off the reality of the situation.

Now we can confirm that all the big Italian clubs appreciate Belghali and are keeping a close eye on his progress.
Juve really like him, Inter had asked for information even before the Denzel Dumfries injury and consequent surgery.
Roma appreciate the player too, despite already having Wesley on that flank, and have spoken to Verona about both Giovane and Tommaso Baldanzi.
Hellas hope to keep Belghali to the end of the season, seeing as they need all the help they can get to avoid relegation, but that depends on what offers come in.
