PSG wants to expand its offensive sector in the coming months and for this, the capital club has set its sights on Edon Zhegrova according to the Spanish press, with first serious contacts.
Satisfied with the performances of Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé since the start of the season, Luis Enrique nevertheless regrets the lack of competition within the squad for his two wingers. Kang-in Lee and Désiré Doué are still too tender to claim a starting place in the Champions League, which is why PSG wants to strengthen its attack in the weeks and months to come. This winter, a touch-up is possible but it is especially next summer that the capital club will try to boost its offensive sector. A number nine could be recruited, but the idea is also to secure the services of a potentially starting winger.
According to information from the Spanish media Carpetas Blaugrana, one player makes everyone agree at PSG, it is Edon Zhegrova. Excellent in Lille for more than a year, the Kosovar international ticks all the boxes in the eyes of Luis Enrique, who loves his profile as an outstanding dribbler but also a very good passer, as he demonstrated on the goal of Jonathan David against Juventus Turin in the Champions League. Still irregular, the Lille striker has enormous room for improvement and fits perfectly into the Mastiffs' new recruitment policy. According to the Spanish media, PSG has already made contact with Lille and Zhegrova's entourage with the aim of getting ahead of… FC Barcelona.
PSG accelerates for Zhegrova, Barça on the lookout
Because on Hansi Flick's side, we are also under the spell of the 25-year-old Lille winger and a new duel between PSG and Barça is therefore taking shape on the transfer market. To date, the reigning French champion has a real head start, with discussions already started but nothing has been done yet since for the moment, no agreement has been found either between PSG and Zhegrova, nor between the Parisian club and LOSC. In any case, this confirms the desire to quickly complete the deal for Luis Campos, before Barcelona wakes up and injects doubt into the mind of the Kosovar player.
