Juventus, disappointing Zhegrova may leave: how much is needed to avoid a capital loss and who wants him?

In these matches, Zhegrova showed that she has good technique, with moves that are more freestyle than football, but with very little effectiveness, combined with a poor ability to interpret matches and her position within them on a tactical level, and an even more deficient propensity for defence. Two highlights in particular remain in the memory: a costly loss of possession while attempting a dribble in her own third in Juventus 2-1 Roma, which led to a goal for the opposition, and above all the missed chance to score in Juventus 3-2 Galatasaray, with the Bianconeri leading 3-0.

Juventus is now considering Zhegrova's future, with both management and the coach agreeing that the former Lille player is not one of the key players on whom to build the future. Therefore, the Old Lady will carefully evaluate any offers, with the aim of avoiding a capital loss. This will not be easy, given that to achieve this goal, Zhegrova would have to be sold for no less than £11.4 million. Let's summarise the figures involved. 

Firstly, let us recall the terms of the agreement whereby Juventus announced the purchase of Zhegrova from Lille on 1 September 2025: "Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that it has reached an agreement with LOSC Lille for the outright acquisition of the registration rights of the player Edon Zhegrova for a consideration of €14.3 million, payable in four financial years, plus ancillary costs of €1.2 million. There are also bonuses of up to €3 million, subject to the achievement of certain sporting objectives. Juventus has signed a sporting performance contract with the player until 30 June 2030."

Zhegrova has an annual amortisation cost of 2.86 million, and consequently, if he is sold after only one season since his arrival in Turin, the figure that would allow Juventus to sell him without recording a capital loss is 11.4 million. Furthermore, it should be noted that the Kosovar has a gross salary of €4.6 million per season until 2030, so anyone wishing to buy him would have to guarantee him at least the same figures and the same duration.

Yes, but is there anyone who would like to buy him? At the moment, there is no concrete interest, only a very tentative enquiry from Everton. In any case, Zhegrova continues to attract attention from market operators in France's Ligue 1 and the Swiss Super League, two leagues in which the Juventus player, born in 1999, has performed well (107 appearances and 26 goals with Lille, 74 appearances and 11 goals with Basel).
