Lille sets modest price for Napoli target Edon Zhegrova

According to reports, Lille OSC has established a relatively low asking price for their 25-year-old Kosovan winger Edon Zhegrova. Napoli has shown interest in the player as they seek a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite Zhegrova’s desire to leave Lille during the summer transfer window, he was ultimately persuaded to stay. However, the French club is aware that the winger is unlikely to extend his current contract, which is set to expire in 2026. While Lille is hesitant to allow a mid-season transfer due to their ongoing Champions League and domestic objectives, sources indicate that they have now set an asking price.

Lille is reportedly willing to part with the Kosovo international for as little as €25 million, making a summer transfer increasingly probable. While Napoli may pursue Zhegrova, another potential suitor, Borussia Dortmund, has reportedly been deterred by Lille’s asking price.

As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Napoli or another club will meet Lille’s valuation for the talented winger.
