Everton\u2019s chase of<\/a> Edon Zhegrova has stretched across three separate transfer windows, and the summer of 2026 now looks like the clearest opportunity yet for David Moyes to finally get the Juventus winger. Zhegrova joined Juventus from Lille in September 2025 for \u00a312.4 million, signing a contract until June 2030, but his time in Turin has been a massive letdown.<\/p>\n

Everton target Edon Zhegrova as Juventus prepare to sell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

His debut season stats tell a bleak story with zero goals, zero assists, and just 447 minutes of action. In fact, Luciano Spalletti has only used him three times in the last 11 matches. Everton tried to sign him before he left Lille last summer, then pushed again in January, but both attempts fell through. Juventus are now reportedly ready to sell him this summer, and Everton are prepared to go back in for him.<\/p>\n

However, Everton<\/a> face a fresh complication. Be\u015fikta\u015f have contacted Zhegrova\u2019s agent to ask about personal terms, a move that Sport Witness suggests could put them in pole position. Fabrizio Romano has since clarified that there is nothing concrete between Zhegrova and Be\u015fikta\u015f, noting the player is staying focused on Juve for the time being. Juventus want at least \u20ac11.4m to avoid a loss on their investment, a price that looks like a bargain compared to his current market value.<\/p>\n

Why Everton must move decisively but stay clear-eyed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From an Everto<\/a>n perspective, the fee is genuinely attractive, and he has the exact profile that Moyes wants on the right flank. Yet the real worry isn\u2019t the price, it\u2019s which version of Zhegrova actually shows up at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Zhegrova was sensational at Lille between 2022 and 2025, playing with a direct and aggressive style, but the player Juventus signed looks like a shadow of that.<\/p>\n

Thiago Motta\u2019s reluctance to start him regularly suggests there are real doubts about his recovery. Injuries seem to have sapped his pace and intensity, two traits that are non-negotiable in a Premier League that demands constant sprinting from wide players.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Be\u015fikta\u015f interest, even if Romano has downplayed it, suggests the market smells an opportunity. Everton could easily miss out again if they repeat the hesitancy they showed in January. The Toffees now have a big decision to make regarding how Zhegrova fits their plans, especially since their chase of Jack Grealish might change how hard they push for other wingers.<\/p>\n

Signing Zhegrova for around \u00a39\u201310m is a low financial risk, but it\u2019s a gamble for the squad if he can\u2019t find the athleticism that made him so dangerous in France. Everton need a winger who can contribute week in and week out, not someone who only shows moments of talent between injury spells. That distinction has to be the main factor in their decision-making this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
