Italian Serie A club Udinese is facing the potential departure of their defender Jaka Bijol, as newly promoted Premier League side Leeds United has shown significant interest.
Reports indicate that the Whites are preparing to make a concrete offer for the central defender. His profile is considered highly suitable for enhancing Leeds United`s defensive capabilities.
Udinese values the Slovenian player at €20 million. Only an offer of this magnitude would reportedly persuade the Pozzo family to sanction a transfer. Discussions and contacts are currently underway, with formal negotiations for a permanent move expected to commence in the coming days.
The 26-year-old has impressed with his performances over the last two seasons. Although he has previously demonstrated the ability to play in midfield, he has primarily featured as a centre-back during his tenure at Udinese.
Bijol has attracted attention from several other Premier League clubs, and Leeds United is the latest club linked with his potential signing.
