The Olympique de Marseille stepped up its efforts to recruit Edon Zhegrova, the LOSC winger, by submitting an official contract offer. This track, which has been under surveillance for several weeks, progresses rapidly behind the scenes, despite the caution displayed by Roberto De Zerbi at a press conference. OM and LOSC are considering a loan scenario with mandatory purchase option, with a one-year extension of the player in Lille. Zhegrova, whose current contract runs until 2026, has clearly expressed its desire to join Marseille, while LOSC, although not in a financial hurry after large sales, remains open to negotiation.

Olympian leaders have already offered Zhegrova a four-season contract, in the hope of strengthening De Zerbi’s attack. The 26-year-old Kosovar international has achieved a promising past season with 8 goals and 2 assists in 21 matches in all competitions, and could bring valuable percussion and creativity to the Marseille offensive milieu. OM is determined to finalize this offensive recruit quickly in order to consolidate the force before the Mercato closes.

The show will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel Football Club in Marseille, offering fans a sharp analysis and interesting perspectives on OM.
