Osimhen, scambio pazzesco in estate: può sconvolgere il calciomercato (SerieANews.com)
When a player publicly announces that he will not renew his contract with the club, market sirens automatically go off. That is precisely what Edon Zhegrova has done in recent weeks, letting it leak out that he is willing to make a change at the end of the season.
The talented Lille outfielder has informed the club that he will not extend his contract, which expires in 2026, effectively putting himself on the market. And, as one would expect, his name has ended up at the center of negotiations, with several Serie A clubs ready to sound the ground for a possible transfer.

The 1999-born Kosovar experienced an exciting first part of the season, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in 21 games, before stopping due to a muscle injury. A setback that, although it slowed his progress, did not affect his market value.

Zhegrova is a left-footed offensive outside forward, very adept at creating numerical superiority and capable of impacting matches with his quick and precise plays. After making a positive impact in his two seasons at Lille, his profile has become more interesting than ever, so much so that several Serie A teams have their eyes on him.
Italian clubs have never stopped watching Edon Zhegrova. His name has been approached by several Serie A clubs, with Roma, Napoli, Juventus and Milan all ready to consider buying him ahead of the summer. Although the player has not yet made a final decision, the market is preparing for a fierce fight.
Juventus, for example, has always had a particular interest in Zhegrova, with the head of the technical area having long appreciated him, having even tried to bring him to Naples during his time there. Moreover, the fact that Zhegrova still has only one year left on his contract makes him an economically advantageous proposition, but more importantly, an attractive opportunity in a period of renewal for many teams.
Milan, for its part, is in a delicate situation, with several unknowns related to the future of some players such as Samu Chukwueze and Rafa Leao, whose fate could be decided right at the end of the season. If the situation evolves in the direction of a renewal of the roster, Zhegrova’s name could make a strong comeback.
The well-established relations between Lille and French soccer could facilitate a negotiation, not to mention that the youngster has already had important experience in international stages such as the Champions League. Napoli, however, could also swoop in on the outfielder.
