Zigrova Ignites a Three-Way Battle Between Al-Nassr and European Giants
Al-Nassr Saudi Club has entered a heated competition to sign the talented Kosovo winger Edon Zigrova, a player for Lille in France, amid similar interest from Italian Napoli and French Olympique Marseille during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Journalist Santi Ona confirmed via 'Foot Mercato' that Zigrova is among Al-Nassr's top targets to strengthen the right-wing position, as part of coach Jorge Jesus's plan to restructure the squad with distinctive offensive and defensive elements.
Despite the tempting Saudi offer, reports indicate that Zigrova leans towards staying in the French league and prefers to join Marseille, as he believes that the atmosphere of 'Ligue 1' suits his technical style and helps him maintain consistency.
On its part, Lille aims to capitalize on the increasing interest in the player, targeting the best financial return, especially since Zigrova's contract expires in the summer of 2026, with only one year remaining.
The French management has set the player's price at 15 million euros, and it is expected that Al-Nassr will leverage its financial strength to finalize the deal, relying on its ability to present an offer that cannot be refused by both the player and the club.
Zigrova, born in Germany in 1999, is considered one of the most promising wingers in Europe, having showcased his talent at Swiss Basel before moving to Lille in 2022, where he attracted attention with his remarkable performance.
The player participated in 21 matches last season, scoring 8 goals and assisting 2, while also showing a clear improvement in his defensive skills and handling of various tactical plans.
Zigrova possesses the ability to penetrate defenses with technical finesse, and he is distinguished by his speed and shooting accuracy, making him an attractive option for the three clubs seeking to benefit from his potential in the final third of the pitch.
Despite his enthusiasm to stay in Europe, it is not ruled out that he may open the door to a move to the Saudi league, especially with the notable growth in the level of competition and the increasing global interest in the tournament.
The final decision remains in the hands of the player and his club, while close sources expect that his destination will be determined in the coming days, amid escalating offers and increasing pressure to quickly resolve his future.
