FM Exclusive: Marseille is close to signing winger Gerova, Lille asks for a total price of 20 million euros

Hupu, August 29, reported by French media FootMercato chief reporter Santi Aouna that Lille winger Gerova is close to joining Marseille.

The 26-year-old winger is in talks with the Marseille club and was convinced by Marseille's plans after his first contact. But the situation seems complicated, as he has to obtain a European passport to be no longer a non-EU citizen before he can agree with Lill.

Lille hopes to win at least €15 million in transfer fees and €5 million in bonuses for the player who has only one year left in the contract.

Edon Zhegrova underwent surgery for groin injury after a prolonged argument with club medical staff.

In the 2025 season, he did not play a single game and expressed his desire to leave during the offseason, which led to him being able to train in the reserve team.

But since then, Lille decided to re-incorporate the Kosovo winger (34 appearances and 4 goals) into the team, and club chairman Le Tang also said that the former Basel Football Club player should indeed abide by the contract.

But to do this, Marseille must convince Lille, because in recent days Lille has lost Lucas Schellier (PSG) and Baford Diakit (Bornemouth).
