OM progresses: offer made for Edon Zhegrova

Edon Zhegrova, the winger from LOSC, is more than ever in the sights of our Olympique de Marseille. For now, Roberto De Zerbi remains cautious at press conferences—classic, he's not going to play his cards before the first day of Ligue 1 against Rennes. But let's be honest, if we're talking about it so much, it's not for nothing: there's something concrete!

Behind the scenes of the case: discussions, loans, and ambitions

OM is not wasting time this summer. We want a solid squad, and Zhegrova checks quite a few boxes: 26 years old, 8 goals, and 2 assists in 21 matches last season, a real threat on his side. According to our info, advanced discussions have started with Lille. There is talk of a loan with a mandatory purchase option and even a one-year extension to sweeten the deal for the Dogues. Not stupid, right?

A small detail that matters: Lille has just brought in millions with Chevalier and Diakité leaving. Will that push them to let go of Zhegrova, or on the contrary, will they want to keep at least one offensive pillar? That's the big question! On the other hand, the player wants to come to us, and that's already a good bargaining point.

A sporting and financial gamble for OM?

This transfer would be a real gamble. On the one hand, Zhegrova has talent, speed, and fits well with the game plan that De Zerbi seems to want to implement. But there are also risks: adapting to a new system, the pressure of the Vélodrome, and financially, we can't afford to make mistakes with a 4-year contract on the table. Do we really need an additional winger, or should the money be invested elsewhere?

Your move: is this the right profile to reinvigorate Marseille's wings? Do you feel it's the right move, or do you prefer we focus on other priorities? Tell us your opinion in the comments!

We're waiting for what's next… but things are moving!

For now, nothing is done, but this Zhegrova case has the feeling of a big maneuver internally. We see that management wants to put all the chances on our side to build a competitive team. Will it materialize? It's a mystery, but one thing is certain: we will follow this closely, and we count on you to keep the debate lively. So, we're waiting for your analyses and predictions, friends!
