Serious discussions between OM and LOSC for Edon Zhegrova

We (maybe) have a new transfer saga for our OM! In recent hours, things have been buzzing at La Commanderie: according to Foot Mercato, concrete discussions have been initiated with Lille to try to attract Edon Zhegrova. You know him, the 25-year-old Kosovar winger, sidelined from the Lille squad for several weeks, is only waiting for one thing: to arrive at the Canebière and work under the orders of De Zerbi. Who among you doesn't dream of a player capable of energizing a flank?

A loan with mandatory purchase option: the right formula?

The discussed option is a loan with a mandatory purchase option. In other words, we take Zhegrova right away, but the purchase doesn't immediately burden the finances. We all know the tensions on our budget this summer... But then, is it really THE right idea? Can LOSC, which just recovered a hefty sum with the sales of Chevalier and Diakité (€95 million, just that!), really afford to strengthen a direct competitor like OM? Lille hesitates, especially since Zhegrova's contract ends in 2025...

The stakes: winning move or risky bet?

On the sporting side, Zhegrova has undeniable talent: speed, technique, drive... But he's coming off a complicated period in Lille. Does it feel like an Ünder-type deal, or a risky gamble like Radonjić? We all know the transfer window is sometimes hit-or-miss. Financially, a loan with a purchase option doesn't immediately impact our budget, but it commits OM for the future. And then, can Zhegrova really settle in Marseille, with the pressure of the Vélodrome? Honestly, at this price, would you take the chance?

Your opinion counts! Should we go for Zhegrova?

So, friends, shall we discuss it? Is it the profile we're missing up front? Do we take a chance on the vengeful player, or would you prefer to see OM bet elsewhere? Let us know in the comments what you think of the Zhegrova case, and if you see him fitting into our attack next season. We'll be back soon with more transfer news, and of course, go OM!
