Edon Zhegrova sidelined at LOSC: A serious option for OM?

We're all watching this transfer window out of the corner of our eyes where anything can happen. One name has been persistently mentioned in recent days: Edon Zhegrova, the Kosovar winger from LOSC. You may have noticed, he didn't even take the plane with Lille for their training camp in Germany. At 26, entering his final contract year, he's been sidelined, away from the pro group, without anyone rushing to snap him up so far. But should OM jump on this opportunity? Let's assess the situation together.

A tense situation in Lille: Zhegrova sidelined

Zhegrova is a real talent who has shone in Ligue 1 – remember his 2022-2023 season, dribbles that had the stadium on its feet, and a genuine ability to break through. But since last December, it's been a deadlock: no matches played, a muscle injury, refusal to extend his contract, and a frosty relationship with management. Lille even turned down 20 million euros from Napoli in January, thinking they could convince him to stay. The result? The player hasn't rejoined the group, and today, he's waiting for a club to come for him. What does this inspire in you?

Sportingly: A profile that fits OM?

Let's be honest, Zhegrova is mainly a right winger, left-footed, that infamous "inverted winger" who likes to cut inside and take a chance. Problem: OM is more looking to strengthen the left wing, if the latest rumors from the Vélodrome are to be believed. But in Marseille, they love players with character, capable of making a difference with the ball at their feet. And with a squad that is likely to change, anything is possible. Should we revise our plan to attempt this gamble? Do you think he could make up for the absences or inconsistencies we've seen too much on the wings?

Financially: An opportunity to seize?

Where it gets interesting is that with a year on his contract, LOSC surely can't hope for the 20 million refused this winter. The price could be more affordable, especially since the player is clearly being pushed out. But beware: salary, signing bonuses, managing the physical risk after several months without playing... We all remember the failed gambles that cost us dearly. Should management position themselves or pass on this one?

Do we take the plunge or not? It's your move!

With Zhegrova, we have a different profile, capable of unlocking a match with a flash of brilliance. But between the injuries, the attitude, and the real need on the left side, the question deserves debate. Friends, what’s your opinion? Should OM take the plunge or let this player, who not so long ago was thrilling Europe's dribblers, slip away? We're waiting for your comments to continue the discussion. Go OM!
