Zhegrova expresses fondness for Milan, sparking transfer speculation

Edon Zhegrova, the talented winger from Lille, has become the latest sensation in the transfer market, particularly catching the eye of Italian clubs. Following his impressive performance in the Champions League match against Juventus, where he provided the assist for Jonathan David’s goal in the 1-1 draw, Zhegrova has openly expressed his admiration for Serie A and specifically AC Milan.

In a recent interview with Di Marzio, Zhegrova revealed his affinity for Italian football, stating, “I like Italian football, I always follow your big teams like Milan, and I also watch Juventus matches.” He went on to mention the strong fan base for Milan, Inter, and Juventus in his native Kosovo. When asked about the possibility of playing in Serie A, Zhegrova responded enthusiastically, saying, “Why not? I really like Milan.”

This declaration has not gone unnoticed, especially considering Zhegrova’s history with Milan. As a child, he participated in a Milan youth camp in Kosovo, which seems to have left a lasting impression on the player.

Milan have been monitoring Zhegrova for some time, but they are not alone in their interest. Juventus, whom Zhegrova described as “a giant club with great players,” had previously shown interest during the last summer transfer window and continues to keep tabs on him. Additionally, Atalanta has joined the race for the winger’s signature.

Zhegrova’s development at Lille has been significant, with the player crediting coach Paulo Fonseca as “the coach who changed his career.” His performances have been steadily improving, and with each match, his market value continues to rise.
