Juventus ready to complete Zhegrova deal

Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, has shed light on Juventus’ transfer strategy involving Edon Zhegrova and Nico González. According to Romano, the deal for Zhegrova is nearly finalized but hinges entirely on González’s future.

Juventus have been in advanced talks with Lille for Zhegrova for days. The winger has already given his approval to join the Bianconeri, and the Italian club is ready to meet Lille’s conditions. However, Romano reports that the move is tied to Nico González’s potential transfer to Atlético Madrid.

If Atlético decide to buy González outright, Juventus could close the Zhegrova deal “in five minutes.” But if the Spaniards opt for a loan or stall negotiations, the entire operation could remain on hold.

González, who is keen on working under Diego Simeone and joining his fellow Argentines in Madrid, remains the key figure in this domino effect.

Comolli’s clear strategy in the market

Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli have been firm in their transfer dealings, a strategy Romano highlighted. He compared this situation to the negotiations with Olympique Marseille for Timothy Weah, where Juve stood their ground and eventually got the deal they wanted.

The philosophy is clear: either clubs meet Juventus’ terms, or the players stay put. That approach applies to González as well. If Atlético meet the asking price, the move will proceed, unlocking Zhegrova’s transfer.

Otherwise, González will remain in Turin, where he even featured against Parma recently. For now, Juventus fans will have to wait a little longer. But as Romano emphasizes, if González’s situation changes, Juventus are fully prepared to move swiftly for Zhegrova.
