The final stretch of the season will be decisive not only for Juventus in their pursuit of a Champions League place, but also for the future of several squad members. Among those whose situation remains uncertain is winger Edon Zhegrova, who has struggled to find rhythm and continuity in recent months. Frequent minor injuries have limited his impact, to the point that he has yet to complete a full 90 minutes in a Juventus shirt.
Tuttosport report that these physical issues have raised concerns within the club about his long‑term reliability. At present, Zhegrova is essentially viewed as a tactical weapon to be unleashed in the final 20 minutes, rather than a guaranteed starter. This reduced status is also prompting reflection on the player’s side, with the Kosovan forward keen to secure a more central role at this stage of his career.
Unsurprisingly, market interest is beginning to circle. Zhegrova has admirers in both the Premier League and Ligue 1, and the prospect of more regular football could prove tempting. Everton and Monaco, in particular, had already made approaches during the January window and are expected to monitor his situation closely in the coming months. Their interest could intensify if Luciano Spalletti does not consider him a key figure in the next phase of Juventus’ project.
From tonight’s match at the Allianz Stadium against Pisa, Zhegrova effectively begins his personal chase for a “place in the sun” in the Juventus of the future. It is a realistic mission, but one that comes with clear conditions: he must start delivering goals and decisive assists, given that he is still stuck on zero in official competitions. Only by becoming directly involved in match‑winning moments can he hope to convince the club to bet on him long term.
There is also a psychological weight to shed. Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League last week by Galatasaray, in a tie marked by Zhegrova’s glaring missed chance for a qualification‑sealing goal. That moment has inevitably left a mark and increased the scrutiny around him. Now he must react, work tirelessly and use this run‑in to erase that bitter memory, win back the trust of the supporters and, above all, secure his future in Turin. Time, however, is running out.
