As the year draws to a close, it also means the winter transfer window is approaching. Many are already on standby, especially in Italy, where transfer rumors never seem to die down. In fact, rumors are one of the pillars upon which “calcio” stands, and one of the long-standing subjects of these rumors has been Jaka Bijol. Recently, Andrea Mandorlini, one of the most legendary football figures on the Apennine Peninsula, spoke out about Bijol.
Andrea Mandorlini, who had a long career as a tough defender for Inter for seven years, winning both the Scudetto and the UEFA Cup, later proved his abilities as a coach, managing teams like Atalanta, Hellas Verona, Genoa, Padova, Bologna, and many others.
He has recently made public comments regarding whom Inter should strengthen their defense with. Mandorlini was clear – a great option would be none other than Jaka Bijol.
Mandorlini: “Jaka Bijol can still improve”
“Aside from Acerbi and De Vrij, Inter’s defense isn’t that old. Bastoni and Bisseck are still very young, and Pavard is at the peak of his career. However, I understand that a big club wants to plan for the future, even though I would keep Acerbi at 36. Among the names I’ve been reading about in the media, I really like Jaka Bijol. I think he’s ready for a big step. The Slovenian has interesting qualities and still has room to grow. But right now, Inter needs to focus on achieving their goals in all competitions. The time to plan for next season will come later,” emphasized the 64-year-old Andrea Mandorlini.
Inter isn’t the only club interested in Jaka Bijol. Italian media have also linked him with Juventus and Napoli. However, in Udine, they are clear: whoever wants the Slovenian international will have to pay more than 20 million euros for him.
