While Barça's interest in Jonathan David has already been mentioned in recent months, another LOSC player is now a great interest in Catalonia. An offensive profile, as discreet as it is formidable, would have caught the eye of blaugranas decision -makers. And to believe the behind the scenes of the transfer window, the Spanish club could soon accelerate on this file.
This is Edon Zhegrova. The Kosovar winger, under contract with Lille until 2026, decided not to extend his adventure in the North. A strong choice, carefully thought out after a season marked by injuries. This decision immediately woke up the lusts of several large European displacements.

Among them, FC Barcelona would be ready to take action. The objective: to strengthen his offensive animation with a technical, creative player capable of destabilizing on his right side. Hansi Flick would have personally validated the profile of Zhegrova, which would be perfectly written in the possession game advocated by Barça.
An unexpected track from Lille
Lille, lucid on the contractual situation of his player, does not wish to take the risk of a free departure after next season. The northern club would therefore be ready to negotiate this summer, in the hope of making a reasonable benefit from this inevitable transfer.
Barça, which must deal with a limited financial room for maneuver, could thus make a good deal. But the Catalan club will have to face competition: Naples, in particular, also monitors the file closely.
Zhegrova's departure now seems inevitable. It remains to be seen who will draw the most convincing offer. One thing is certain: the Lille winger may well animate one of the most followed soap opera of the next transfer window.
