Venezia Secures Moroccan Defender Redouane Halhal from KV Mechelen
Venezia has successfully finalized the signing of Moroccan international defender Redouane Halhal from KV Mechelen. The deal is reportedly valued at €5 million, with additional performance-based bonuses included. Halhal is scheduled to undergo his medical examinations on Saturday to complete the transfer, having already arrived in Italy.
The 23-year-old central defender, who can also play as a full-back, was eager for a new challenge in a different league as his contract with KV Mechelen was set to expire at the end of the current season. Halhal began his career in the youth academy of Montpellier before moving to Belgium in 2024. After a loan spell at Helmond Sport, he established himself at KV Mechelen, making 34 appearances last season, contributing one goal and two assists.
Halhal was part of the Moroccan squad for the 2026 World Cup, featuring in two matches. Venezia is also reportedly close to loaning out Ahmed Sidibé to Guimaraes, with an option to buy at the end of the season.
