Edon Zhegrova to Lazio
Quiet since 28 August 2026. Last report: Gianluca Di Marzio. Probability when it went quiet: 4%.
Lazio have made their first move for Edon Zhegrova, with exploratory contact opened between the two Serie A clubs over the Juventus winger. Nothing here is a negotiation yet. This is the early probing stage where a club checks whether a deal might even be possible before anyone talks numbers seriously. Juventus signed Zhegrova only last year and have given no signal they want to sell, but Lazio's interest is now on record. The story comes from Gianluca Di Marzio, a reporter with strong standing and a long track record on Italian football business. His post describes "primi contatti esplorativi", meaning first exploratory contacts, which is a precise and fairly cautious way to frame it. No second source has come in yet to back it up, so this sits as a single well sourced line rather than a story confirmed across multiple outlets. The chance of this actually happening looks slim for now. Exploratory contact is the opening step of dozens of transfer conversations that go nowhere, and there is no reporting yet of a fee being agreed, a bid lodged, or Juventus showing any willingness to let Zhegrova leave. For this to move forward, Juventus would need to soften their stance and Lazio would need to convert interest into an actual offer within the €10m to €14m range being floated. Zhegrova's market history gives some context. Juventus paid Lille €16m for him in 2025, while Lille themselves paid Basel €7m and Basel paid Genk €3m for him earlier in his career. Lazio, meanwhile, have paid similar money before, spending €13m on a forward from Salzburg in 2026 and €12m on a Sassuolo pla
