Lille, solid fourth in Ligue 1, sees the future of one of its star players threatened in this winter transfer window. A leader of a major European championship insists on enlisting one of the centerpieces of the northern squad. The departure of this offensive figure would be a hard blow for the Mastiffs, who still hope to keep him at least until the end of the season.
Napoli tackle Edon Zhegrova
According to insider Ekrem Konur, the Italians in Naples have placed Edon Zhegrova at the top of their priorities. The 24-year-old Kosovar winger is shining this season with 8 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances, including 17 as a starter. Striking performances, particularly against strong opponents like PSG and Atlético Madrid, have reinforced its attractiveness.
Despite his current adductor injury, which has kept him off the field for a month, Naples remains convinced by Zhegrova’s potential. The Italian club, looking for reinforcements to maintain its supremacy in Serie A, seems ready to move quickly to secure his signature.
Genesio could lose one of its best players in Lille.
A tense situation for Lille
The possible departure of Zhegrova this winter would constitute a serious blow for Lille. Already under pressure with the rumors surrounding Jonathan David, the Mastiffs could lose two of their offensive assets in the near future. If the Canadian striker is guaranteed to stay until the end of the season, Zhegrova’s future remains uncertain.
Napoli, meanwhile, are also exploring other avenues, such as that of Federico Chiesa, but seem to be focusing their efforts on the Kosovar winger. This insistence risks complicating the plans of Lille, which seeks to secure a European place at the end of the season.
The coming weeks will be decisive for the future of the northern club, divided between the financial opportunity and the sporting necessity of keeping Zhegrova until June.
