Journalist Alfredo Pedullà confirms recent rumors that Rafik Belghali is being pursued by Roma this summer.
The Verona full-back is popular with both Gian Piero Gasperini and Frederic Massara, who is still working for the Giallorossi despite his position being up in the air.
Having arrived in Italy in the summer, the 2002-born Algerian, born in Belgium, is Sean Sogliano’s latest discovery in the Benelux area. He played 21 games for Verona this season, scoring two goals.
His characteristics make him a perfect fit for Gasperini’s system. The 23-year-old combines great running and physicality, and is a decent crosser.
A right-footed player, like Wesley, he can play effectively on either flank.
Roma are interested, writes Pedulla, but no talks have taken place yet.
