Lille OSC is preparing for a significant squad overhaul at the end of the season, with multiple key players expected to leave. Among them is 25-year-old winger Edon Zhegrova, who will be allowed to depart if suitable offers come in. According to L’Équipe, Lille is open to selling the Kosovan international as they brace for a wave of departures. Jonathan David and Angel Gomes are set to leave on free transfers, while goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is reportedly a target for Paris Saint-Germain.
Zhegrova recently spoke on Albanian radio, confirming that he has no plans to extend his current contract, which runs until 2026. This puts Lille in a position where selling him this summer is their best option to secure a transfer fee rather than risk losing him for free in the future. Given his talent and attacking prowess, several clubs are expected to show interest in signing him.
The winger had already been considering an exit during the January transfer window, but club president Olivier Létang was determined to retain all key players mid-season. However, with the summer approaching, Lille’s stance has changed. The club is now prepared to grant Zhegrova his wish and facilitate his departure if a suitable offer arrives.
Napoli, who previously expressed interest in the winger, is expected to revive their pursuit once the season concludes. The Italian club could be among the frontrunners to secure Zhegrova’s signature, especially as they look to strengthen their squad for the next campaign. With Lille undergoing a major squad reshuffle, the upcoming transfer window promises to be a crucial period for the club’s future.
Zhegrova’s departure will mark the end of his stint in Ligue 1, where he has showcased his skillful dribbling and creativity. As Lille faces a transformative summer, fans will be watching closely to see how the club reinvents itself amid multiple key exits.
