Slovenian footballer before a resounding transfer
Slovenian football team Jaka Bijol is increasingly closer to the transfer to the elite English league. As reported by a journalist Fabrizio Romanoconsidered reliable in the announcement of transfers, the 26-year-old defender of the Italian Udinese agreed to transfer to Leeds.
It is the leading men of Leeds who have been seriously interested in buying Bijol for a long time, and in recent days there have also been hints of Newcastle’s interest, but his offer was supposed to come too late.
Leeds will pay a total of € 22 million for Bijola, which is still waiting for medical examinations, according to Roman’s data. The people of Videm claimed at least € 20 million for him and initially rejected a 15 million offer of the English club.
Udinese bought Bijola, one of the pillars of the Slovenian national team, in 2022 from the CSK Moscow for four million euros. The Slovenian defender also carried the jersey of Hanover and the Velenje miner.
In the event that Bijol’s transfer is actually € 22 million, this will mean the second largest transfer sum for Slovenian football players.
