Juventus and Marseille in race for Lille winger Zhegrova | OneFootball

Juventus is still looking at the market to strengthen the flanks. The new name—though not entirely unfamiliar—is Edon Zhegrova, a Kosovar offensive winger whose contract with Lille expires in 2026 and who has often been linked to Napoli over the past two years.

Juventus, Zhegrova track: duel with Marseille for the Lille winger who was (once) liked by Napoli

Zhegrova was already close to the Bianconeri last summer when he was among the most appreciated profiles at Corso Galileo Ferraris. At that time, the club turned to Nico Gonzalez, who arrived from Fiorentina, but the interest in the Lille talent has never faded.

The player's contractual situation now makes the operation more accessible: the French club, in fact, does not want to risk losing him for free in a year—as happened with Jonathan David—and is willing to listen to offers between 15 and 20 million euros.

The competition from Marseille

Competing with Juve for Zhegrova is Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille, which has been following the winger for some time but has not yet reached an agreement with Lille. The Bianconeri, if they speed up, could try to surpass the French with a concrete proposal in the coming days.

The Nico Gonzalez issue

Much will also depend on the future of Nico Gonzalez. The Argentine, who arrived only a year ago, is on the list of potential departures, and Atletico Madrid remains vigilant, although they consider Juventus' 30 million request excessive. The Spaniards are pushing for a discount of at least ten million, and the inclusion of a technical counterpart is not ruled out: the name circulating is that of Nahuel Molina, a former Udinese player who might interest the Bianconeri.

The right flank in Tudor's sights

One thing is certain: Igor Tudor wants a dynamic winger for his Juventus. The goal is to provide more balance to the defensive phase and freedom for Conceiçao's incursions on the opposite flank. Zhegrova and Molina thus represent two different but converging paths, and the coming days will be decisive in understanding what the final choice will be.
