By OnzeActu · · 5 min read
According to La Nazione, Edon Zhegrova is still on Fiorentina's list. The Tuscan club favors a loan with option to buy and also advances on Joao Mario, while Zhegrova is temporarily unavailable.
Why it matters
Fiorentina are looking to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season, and Edon Zhegrova represents an interesting option after a difficult season at Juventus. The Tuscan club favors a loan with an option to buy, which would allow the player to be tested before a possible final transfer. This cautious approach is essential to avoid recruiting mistakes, especially after a mixed season.
Context
Kosovo player Edon Zhegrova has had a difficult first season at Juventus, leading to speculation about his future. Fiorentina sees him as a potential reinforcement, but the completion of this transfer depends on Juventus agreeing on a loan with an option to buy. This type of transfer would allow Fiorentina to judge Zhegrova's performance before making a final decision.
Key points
- Fiorentina: Zhegrova remains hot track, but only if there.
- According to La Nazione, Edon Zhegrova is still on the Fiorentina list.
- Fiorentina, Zhegrova remained nome caldo. My solo se la Juventus apre al prestito con diretto.
Among the names that remain in the short list drawn up by sports director Fabio Paratici, that of Edon Zhegrova comes up insistently, reports La Nazione. The Kosovar player, in difficulty during his first season at Juventus, is considered transferable by the Old Lady. But Fiorentina is only considering the operation in a specific form: a loan with a purchase option.
It is precisely this modality which is currently blocking the completion of the file. Juventus has not yet clarified whether it will allow Zhegrova to leave under this formula, which would allow Fiorentina to test the player before lifting the permanent transfer option or not. According to our information from the same Tuscan daily, Paratici is ready to move forward on this financial and sporting plan: the Viola favors caution on this type of profile after a mixed exercise in Turin.

The name of João Mário is also mentioned in discussions during the transfer window. Still according to La Nazione, Paratici would be willing to complete the arrival of the Portuguese on a similar basis, a loan with option to purchase. And if, for the “Portuguese full-back”, everything seems almost settled, the Zhegrova file will still require negotiations to reconcile the positions of the two clubs.
On an immediate sporting level, Edon Zhegrova will not take part in the friendly match that Juventus is playing against Standard de Liège, due to small physical setbacks. A detail which does not affect Fiorentina's interest, but which could slow down the pace of discussions a little.
Beyond the contractual plans, this transfer window illustrates Fiorentina's prudent strategy: strengthening the offensive wing without exposing itself financially, by favoring loan formulas with options. It remains to be seen whether Juventus will accept this logic for Zhegrova, a sine qua non condition for the file to accelerate and for the Viola to be able, finally, to satisfy Fabio Grosso's wishes before the resumption.

Fiorentina is awaiting clarification from Juventus regarding the possibility of Zhegrova's loan. If the Old Lady accepts this formula, it could pave the way for a rapid agreement. Meanwhile, the club continues to track other targets like Joao Mario, strengthening its recruitment strategy for the upcoming Serie A season.
