As Khvicha Kvaratskhelia prepares to sign with Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli is turning its attention to the future. Manager Antonio Conte’s primary target remains Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, but the club is exploring alternatives due to the complexity of that deal.
Calciomercato report that Edon Zhegrova of Lille has emerged as a strong contender to fill the void left by Kvaratskhelia. The 25-year-old Kosovo international possesses the qualities Conte desires in his system. While not the first choice, Zhegrova represents a concrete objective for the Azzurri.
Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna has been in regular contact with Zhegrova’s agent, Hasan Cetinkaya. The player himself is enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Napoli, viewing it as a significant step forward in his career.
However, Lille are reluctant to part with one of their key players mid-season, despite Zhegrova’s contract running until 2026. The French club prefer to discuss a potential transfer for the summer, but Napoli will continue to push for an immediate move.
