Fiorentina are weighing up a summer approach for Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova, who could leave Turin just twelve months after signing from Lille. The Viola are closely monitoring the situation and may lodge an official bid in the coming days.
Underwhelming spell in Turin
Zhegrova joined Juventus last summer in a deal costing approximately €15 million. The 27-year-old Kosovo international arrived with expectations of adding creativity to the Bianconeri’s attack, but he struggled to make an impact throughout his debut Serie A campaign. He failed to establish himself as a regular starter and spent much of the season on the margins of the squad.
The winger’s difficulties in adapting to Italian football have prompted the club to consider offloading him. Despite his limited contributions, Zhegrova remains under contract until 2030, having signed a long-term agreement upon his arrival.
Viola monitoring situation
According to La Nazione, relayed by CalcioMercato.it, Fiorentina view Zhegrova as a viable option to strengthen their wide positions. The Florence club believe the player’s wages—understood to be €2.5 million net per season—fall comfortably within their financial structure, making a transfer feasible.
Fiorentina are reportedly preparing to test Juventus’ resolve with a first formal offer. The potential deal represents an opportunity for the Viola to acquire a player who previously demonstrated considerable talent in Ligue 1, hoping a change of environment revives his fortunes.
Implications for both clubs
For Juventus, selling Zhegrova would allow them to recoup a portion of their initial investment and create room within the wage bill for new acquisitions. The Turin side are expected to reshape their attacking options this summer, and moving on a peripheral figure would align with that strategy.
The coming days are likely to prove pivotal. Should Fiorentina follow through with their interest and submit a proposal, negotiations could progress rapidly given Juventus’ apparent willingness to sanction an exit. A switch to Florence would offer Zhegrova a fresh opportunity to prove himself in Italy’s top flight.
