Zhegrova: Lille block Juventus move, he stays this season | OneFootball

The negotiations between Juventus and Edon Zhegrova have come to an abrupt halt. The president of Lille, Olivier Letang, has clarified the French club’s position regarding the future of the Kosovar winger, extinguishing – at least for now – the Bianconeri’s hopes.

Zhegrova, Lille shuts the door on Juventus: “He’s staying with us this season”

On the eve of the Ligue 1 match against Monaco, Letang stated: “Edon Zhegrova is staying with us this season. I have not received any offers and there are no ongoing negotiations. The Italian media tend to exaggerate.”

The executive also revealed that he has had contact with Damien Comolli, the new head of Juventus’ sporting area: “We have spoken several times since he took on the role. A few weeks ago the door was more open, but today my position is clear: Edon is staying.”

The situation of the Kosovar winger

Zhegrova, who had been undergoing personalized training sessions in recent weeks due to ongoing transfer rumors, has returned to working regularly with the group: “He resumed training on Tuesday afternoon, felt a slight discomfort but this morning he trained normally,” Letang explained.

Coach Bruno Genesio confirmed his presence in the squad: “Zhegrova has worked with us this week. He needs to regain match fitness, but he could be called up for Sunday’s match against Monaco.”

Juventus on standby: could anything still change?

Despite Lille’s stance, the transfer market remains open and Juventus has not completely abandoned the idea of bringing Zhegrova to Turin. According to rumors, an offer between 18 and 20 million euros could reopen negotiations, especially if the Bianconeri manage to sell Nico Gonzalez to Atletico Madrid for a similar amount.
