Marseille eyes Zhegrova move

OM weighs a potential move for Edon Zhegrova as it expands its attack, while Lille holding out for around 20 million euros.

Marseille targets Edon Zhegrova as Lille sets price

Marseille has strengthened its frontline by signing Igor Paixao and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with Timothy Weah also able to operate in attack. Yet the club is not done adding firepower and is examining one more option to reinforce the depth.

Edon Zhegrova, the Kosovar winger from LOSC, is among the names in Marseille's sights. A deal would likely sit near 20 million euros, a figure Lille is prepared to defend. While there have been exchanges between clubs, Fabrice Hawkins cautions that declaring the move close is premature and notes that talks still require alignment on price and terms.

Marseille faces a familiar tug between aspiration and budget discipline. The club has added well known attackers but chasing another name at a €20 million level tests the balance between immediate impact and long term cost. In a crowded market, firms like Lille can set the pace, and a delay could push Marseille to pivot to internal options or other targets. The outcome will reveal how seriously the club prioritizes short term strength over financial caution and how fans and sponsors react to a potentially high price for another winger.
