Marseille enter race for Lille’s Edon Zhegrova | OneFootball

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Olympique de Marseille are targeting a move for Lille OSC winger Edon Zhegrova (26), but face stiff competition for his signature.

Zhegrova’s time with Les Dogues is coming to an end, and the club have made it clear that they are willing to sell him this summer (for the right price). The Kosovan international has entered the final year of his contract and has made frequent proclamations that he is ready to leave for pastures new.

Foot Mercato writes that Zhegrova is very interested in the prospect of joining Marseille, who will play in the UEFA Champions League in the upcoming season. He would likely provide competition to Mason Greenwood on the right side of the attack.

However, the Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr also have him in their sights, and want to see him join an attack that boasts Cristiano Ronaldo and João Felix. Al-Nassr are reportedly in talks with Zhegrova over a move.

Despite his contract situation and his willingness to leave, Lille are unwilling to budge on a price valued around €15m (plus €5m in bonuses).
