The red-and-white colors are part of Edon Zhegrova’s future

Monaco could also join the race for Edon Zhegrova. The Principality-based club has been monitoring the Juventus player for some time and is interested in strengthening its offense with a natural winger. The Kosovar, who is already familiar with the French league thanks to his time at Lille, could therefore be a viable option to fill this gap. It is not out of the question, then, that the Monaco club might pursue this interest further ahead of the January transfer window.

Zhegrova’s future in Turin, moreover, appears increasingly uncertain. The winger has started only once since arriving at Juventus and is struggling to find playing time under Luciano Spalletti, who has never hidden his concerns about his performance. After the match against Fiorentina, the coach reprimanded him for his lack of consistency and focus: “Sometimes he zones out defensively and in terms of positioning, like when he has to chase down an opponent. At this level, you can’t afford to do that.” With Woltemade and Kolo Muani firmly in the starting lineup, and with Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceiçao set to return soon, playing time for the Kosovar is likely to shrink even further.

For this reason, the Bianconeri are ready to consider offers: According to calciomercato.com, Zhegrova is valued at around 15 million euros and is among the three players Juventus could sell in January—along with Federico Gatti and Andrea Cambiaso—with the goal of raising a total of about 50 million. The club also intends to invest primarily in the offense, with Atlético Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth among the top targets for the forward line.

The player’s performance has also been a topic of discussion among commentators. After the draw in Cagliari, Daniele Adani had described him as a “half-hour player,” not up to the task of playing a leading role at Juventus, despite the fact that his second-half entrance had made a greater impact than that of Conceiçao, whom he had replaced.

Meanwhile, Zhegrova remains a mainstay of Franco Foda’s Kosovo squad, with whom he has been competing in the Nations League. The Kosovar is expected to start on the offensive wing in Saturday’s match against Israel in Pristina—part of the penultimate matchday of Group B3—as part of a three-man attack alongside Vedat Muriqi and Baton Zabergja.
