Fabrizio Romano confirms news about Edon Zhegrova

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have officially made contact with the agents of Edon Zhegrova. The Lille winger has been on the radar of multiple European clubs, with Olympique de Marseille being the most aggressive in their pursuit.

Romano revealed that Marseille have already tabled a significant offer and are currently negotiating directly with Lille. Their intention is clear—they want to secure Zhegrova as a key reinforcement for Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.

Marseille view Zhegrova as an essential addition who could transform their attack. They are pushing hard to finalize the deal quickly, hoping to close negotiations before Juventus escalate their interest.

For Marseille, this transfer is not just about strengthening the squad but also about making a statement under De Zerbi’s leadership.

Meanwhile, Juventus have stepped in to explore the conditions of the deal. The Bianconeri reached out both to the player’s representatives and Lille to gather crucial details.

Romano stated that Juventus plan to meet with Zhegrova’s camp next week to assess whether they should move forward decisively. This approach highlights the club’s cautious but serious interest in securing the Kosovo international.

Transfer domino: Nico Gonzalez and Atletico Madrid’s role

Romano also pointed out that Juventus are simultaneously managing another complex situation involving Nico González. Atlético Madrid remain quietly but firmly in the background, monitoring the winger.

While discussions are ongoing, no final agreement has been reached yet. González is said to be open to the idea of joining Atlético, where he could find an important role in Diego Simeone’s system, especially with the World Cup approaching.

The Nico González case could directly influence Juventus’ pursuit of Zhegrova. Should González leave Serie A, Juventus might intensify their push for the Lille star.

Romano reminded that Zhegrova was previously close to joining Napoli earlier this year as a potential replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. That move collapsed, but his profile remains highly appreciated across Italy.

Ultimately, Juventus face a race against time. Marseille have already made their intentions crystal clear, while Juventus must decide whether to compete strongly or let the French side secure their target.

Romano emphasized that Marseille will do everything possible to complete the signing, meaning Juventus must act quickly if they wish to prevent Zhegrova from slipping away.
