Currently injured, Edon Zhegrova is also the subject of requests on the transfer market. And while Naples is preparing to lose Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, leaving for PSG, the Italian club would like to make the LOSC winger its replacement. Explanations.
Naples insist on Edon Zhegrova
If the start of the calendar year, with two disappointing draws against Nantes (1-1) and Auxerre (0-0), changed the minds of the LOSC leaders, now keen to recruit on the offensive level, the northern club must already think about securing its major elements. Six months before the very probable departure of Jonathan David at the end of his contract, it is Edon Zhegrova who could well leave the Lille ship during this month of January.
Currently injured in public, will the 25-year-old winger wear the Mastiff jersey? Nothing is less certain. According to Kosovar journalist Arlind Sadiku, known for his closeness to the player's clan, Napoli reportedly have an agreement with Edon Zhegrova's representatives. The Italian club sees in him the worthy successor to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, emphatically announced to PSG a few hours ago. It remains to be seen the position of LOSC, knowing that Olivier Létang had closed the door to any major departure during the month of January.
LOSC finally with its back to the wall?
“Today, we are in an economic situation which allows for economic stability. We are strong enough to say that a player will not leave, proclaimed the president of LOSC in December. There is no question that a player who is important and efficient for the team will leave us in January. » But as always in football, everything has a price. It remains to be seen what LOSC requested for Edon Zhegrova, knowing that the player is valued at 25 million euros by the site Transmarkt.
Another point to take into account is the contractual situation of Kosovar. Arriving at the end of the contract in June 2026, LOSC number 23 is in a position of strength. Six months after having already mentioned his desire to leave, the former Basel player can now refuse to extend and thus put the leaders in an uncomfortable situation next summer. Hence the interest in selling it this winter in the event of a good offer from Naples? Olivier Letang may face such a dilemma in the coming days.
