Udinese’s Jaka Bijol on Bologna’s Radar: Transfer Negotiations for the Slovenian Defender
Among the names noted in the diaries of several Serie A executives is certainly that of Jaka Bijol. The Udinese centre-back has caught the attention of many after his impressive performances at the European Championship with Slovenia. This has now led to increased interest in his services across the league.
Bologna, in particular, are keen on securing Bijol’s talents. The Emilia-Romagna club is exploring the possibility of incorporating the promising defender into their squad.
Sources close to the club have revealed that the discussions are in the preliminary stages. A representative of Bologna stated, “We believe Jaka Bijol would be a valuable addition to our defence.” This was reported in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
Udinese, however, are not in a rush to let go of their defensive stalwart. An anonymous source within the club commented, “We understand there is interest from multiple teams, but we are evaluating our options carefully.”
Bijol himself has remained tight-lipped about the potential move. When questioned by Corriere dello Sport, he remarked, “For now, I am focused on my commitments with Udinese.”
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Bologna will manage to finalise a deal for Bijol. The coming weeks promise further developments in this intriguing transfer saga.
