Juventus and Inter Milan interested in Algerian defender Rafik Belghali

Rafik Belghali’s rise in Serie A has quickly put him on the radar of two of Italy’s biggest clubs, Juventus and Inter Milan.

The 23-year-old right-back joined Hellas Verona on 19 August and has wasted no time establishing himself as one of the standout players in his position in Italy, earning an Algeria call-up along the way.​

Belghali has already made 15 appearances this season, showing consistency, reliability and clear room for further development, which makes him an attractive, relatively low-cost option for top clubs. Italian reports, including Nico Schira, Alfredo Pedullà and Corriere dello Sport, all indicate that Juve and Inter are closely monitoring his situation.​

Less than six months after arriving in Serie A, Belghali is reportedly valued at around 15 million euros. A move to either Juventus, currently fifth in the league and rebuilding after parting ways with Igor Tudor, or Inter, leaders in Serie A and recent Champions League finalists, would represent a huge step up for a player who was still at KV Mechelen just five months ago.
