Rafik Belghali, a 23-year-old Algerian defender, is viewed by Hellas Verona as a potential major capital gain and has attracted interest from several top-tier clubs. Juventus has particular interest, and there have already been contacts between the two clubs regarding the player. Discussions significantly increased after his goal against Atalanta a week ago. However, a deal is not considered simple because Belghali is valued at around €15 million, and Juventus's plan for January is to avoid significant spending.
If a transfer occurs, Belghali would potentially replace Joao Mario, who has not been convincing since his arrival. Belghali joined Verona in August 2025 and his contract runs until June 2029. The Algerian international, who has 4 caps and 1 goal for his country, has made 15 appearances and scored 2 goals in Serie A this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.50m.
