Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova is reportedly keen to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window, with three clubs already showing interest in securing his services. The Kosovo international is seeking more consistent playing time, having struggled to break into the starting line-up since his arrival.
Zhegrova joined Juventus in the summer of 2025 in a deal worth €15 million plus add-ons. However, despite being at the club for over 15 months, he is yet to make a single start for the Bianconeri. Last season, he made 19 league appearances, all coming off the bench. This trend has continued into the 2026-27 campaign, where he has featured nine times, exclusively as a substitute.
Limited Opportunities at Juventus
The lack of game time at club level contrasts sharply with his international commitments. Zhegrova recently played 82 minutes for Kosovo in their 0-0 draw against Israel, marking his longest run-out in a single match in over two years. This highlights his desire for regular football, which he is currently not receiving in Turin.
Competition for places in the Juventus squad is fierce, with players such as Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Kerim Alajbegovic, Jeremie Boga, and Weston McKennie all vying for similar attacking roles. Reports suggest that Juventus may consider selling Zhegrova in January to create space for potential new additions to the squad.
Clubs Eye January Move
According to reports from Italy, at least three clubs are monitoring Zhegrova’s situation closely. Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, who previously enquired about the winger at the close of the summer transfer window, remain interested. Their interest has reportedly intensified following an injury to their young winger Roger Fernandes.
In Europe, both Ligue 1 outfit Monaco and Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas are also said to be keen on bringing Zhegrova to their respective leagues. With both the player and Juventus potentially open to a move, the January transfer window could see Edon Zhegrova depart from the Italian giants in search of a new challenge and more minutes on the pitch.
