According to Fabrizio Romano’s exclusive information, Juventus entered into a verbal agreement with Lille for the acquisition of the Kosovar winger Edon Zhegrova. The personal details of this transfer, concerning a contract of 2.5 million euros net per season until 2030, were finalized with the 26-year-old player. Zhegrova is now free to travel, pending the final approval of the Juventus to formalize the operation, estimated between 18 and 20 million euros. This negotiation represents a setback for the Olympique de Marseille, which thought it would agree with the player after having already reached a personal agreement.

The conclusion of this transfer is conditional on the approval of Liga concerning the loan with option of purchase from Nico González to Atlético Madrid. This departure from Turin is necessary to free a place in the Juventus and facilitate the arrival of Zhegrova. Atlético Madrid and Juventus already have a loan agreement with purchase option in place, and only the administrative authorization of the Liga remains to be obtained for this chain operation to materialize.

Olivier Létang, president of LOSC, had expressed his optimism on Saturday that Zhegrova would not join the Olympique de Marseille. This prediction now seems to be confirmed, despite the transmission of an offer by OM to the Dogues this Sunday. All these events highlight a series of player movements between European clubs, with the Juventus playing a central role in facilitating the arrival of Zhegrova while managing the situation of Nico González.
