With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Does anyone know what the deal is with Zhegrova and his passport? Does he not have a German passport? Why does he need an Albanian passport?
He was close to getting transfered to Juventus. Albanian passport makes him a local in Italy and the team doesn't have to free foreigner spots (max 2 players that are not EU citizens). So Edi Rama is a Juventus fan and probably made them a favour.

Nicolo Schira (reliable journalist) posted yesterday that Juventus bid 12 million for him.
That's a laughable amount nowadays for a quality winger in his prime. I'm surprised there is so little interest for Zhegrova. Could it be because of the rumors that he's a selfish/bad personality in the locker room?

It's because his contract is expiring next summer. Expiring players never sell for much.
