Edon Zhegrova insists on staying at Juventus

August 8, 2026Carlos Mendoza4 мин

Edon Zhegrova's future could become one of the focal points of the final weeks of Juventus's transfer market. Arriving from Lille just a year ago, the Kosovar winger does not seem inclined to consider an exit, despite the competition in the attacking department and speculation about potential offers.

The player's stance is clear: Zhegrova wants to continue his adventure in the black and white stripes and try to fully win over Luciano Spalletti.

Zhegrova sends a message to Juventus

Last season was hampered by physical problems, particularly pubalgia, which prevented him from achieving the desired consistency. However, Zhegrova now feels ready to start anew.

The player explained it openly: "Last season I had pubalgia, now I'm fine and I want to stay." These words leave little room for interpretation. The Kosovar does not consider his experience in Turin to be over and aims to use the new season to prove his value.

The goal against Chelsea could change things

His good performance against Chelsea, highlighted by the goal that decided the friendly match, has strengthened his case.

It was a play perfectly suited to Zhegrova's abilities: the capacity to create overloads, close-range speed, and, above all, a left foot capable of resolving a game unexpectedly. Spalletti also appreciated the performance, while reminding that one goal cannot be enough to judge a player's ninety minutes. The coach demands participation, consistency, and willingness in off-the-ball work. A significant part of the Kosovar's future hinges on these aspects.

Increasingly strong competition

Zhegrova's main challenge is the sheer abundance of talent.

Juventus has added Kolo Muani and Alajbegovic, has seen Yildiz return, and can count on several players who can operate behind or alongside the striker. Spalletti himself joked about the enormous amount of attacking talent available when presented with a particularly bold formation: "Why not include Zhegrova too? But we only play with eleven."

Fiorentina is watching

There is no shortage of admirers on the market. Among them is Fiorentina, which has reportedly shown interest in a loan deal with a possible purchase option. For Juventus, an eventual departure could help streamline a particularly large squad and create space for final market operations. But there is one crucial factor to consider: the player's will. Zhegrova does not appear interested in seeking a convenient solution. He wants to fight for his opportunities in Turin.
