Ethon Zegrova (26, LOSC Lille), the ace of the Kosovo (97th FIFA ranking) national team, which has never advanced to the finals at the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro, is attracting attention from Spain's powerhouse Barcelona.
Spanish media "Football Spain" quoted Sport as saying on the 2nd (Korea time) that "Barcelona's director Deku, who is seeking several transfers in the upcoming summer, wants to reinforce the offense, and Zegrova has emerged as an alternative."
Zegrova began to receive attention by showing impressive performance in the presence of Barcelona scouts in the UEFA Champions League, he added, revealing that the club has been watching him steadily.
Zegrova, the Kosovo national team, is a versatile winger with a dribbling ability and scoring ability to play, primarily on the right but also on the left flank.
In addition, Zegrova is not just a player who is good at dribbling, but also a player with playmaking ability.
After pulling the opponent's defense toward him while stably guarding the ball through dribbling, he sharply penetrates the empty space that arises in the moment and creates opportunities for his teammates with sharp passes.
He has yet to return to the right side of Lille with eight goals and two assists in 21 games before the injury, although he has not yet returned due to an adductor injury suffered in December last year.
As the player showed such performance, Barcelona, who wants to reinforce the side striker, seems to be interested.
This season, Barcelona is performing well with the performances of Hapinha (28) and Ramin Yamal (17), ranking first in La Liga, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and advancing to the Copa del Rey final, but there is no clear backup between the two players.
In fact, Yamal and Hafinha have often been exposed to the fact that they feel physically burdened recently. As a result, Barcelona director Deku seems to be trying to recruit Zegrova, who is good at passing and dribbling.
Above all, the player's transfer fee is reasonable. It is a reasonable option for Barcelona, which is feeling financially burdened.
According to the media, Zegrova's contract with Lille will end in the summer of 2026, and he has no intention of extending his contract, so he is likely to move this summer. Lille has set a transfer fee of about 30 million euros (about 48 billion won) to not allow the transfer by free agency, but there seems to be enough room for negotiations.
In addition, Zegrova is also said to prefer to go to Barcelona. 먹튀검증
The media said, "The player prefers to move to La Liga and Serie A rather than the Premier League, and has publicly expressed his affection for Barcelona in the past," adding that it is only a matter of time before Barcelona makes an offer.
