Olympique Marseille Push for Edon Zhegrova as Juventus Enter Transfer Talks

Olympique Marseille want to sign Edon Zhegrova. They are negotiating with Lille over the winger just as Juventus also start talks for a possible transfer before the window closes. According to recent updates, Marseille are in discussions with Lille regarding Zhegrova’s potential transfer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Marseille are trying to complete the signing of Edon Zhegrova soon. They have begun discussions with Lille. The Kosovo international is valued at €20-25 million with his current deal with the club expiring in 2026. Notably, Zhegrova has scored eight goals and recorded two assists in 21 Ligue 1 matches this season. His injury in December slowed his team’s approach for European qualifications. Juventus are now trying to understand if Zhegrova could become available at the end of the window. However, Marseille are still very involved in the negotiations and want to finalize the deal sometime next week and have the player ready for their upcoming Champions League match.

MARSEILLE’S SITUATION

Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 during the 2024/25 season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. They will return to the Champions League this season. The French side already signed players like Igor Paixao and Timothy Weah but are now looking for more attacking options for manager Roberto De Zerbi. Zhegrova has the qualities to be perfect for De Zerbi’s special playing style. However, some experts fear that the winger’s attitude may not fit well with Marseille’s system.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The transfer window closes in less than two weeks so Marseille will push to sign Zhegrova. Juventus, who finished fourth in Serie A last season, are still in the picture, but Marseille lead the race as of now. Marseille start their league campaign against Rennes, who finished twelfth last campaign just below them. They want Zhegrova signed and ready to play an important role for their European matches. Lille, meanwhile, will have to find a new player if the deal is closed.
