Jaka Bijol was in the spotlight during the international break in Italy due to a rumor sparked by the prestigious La Gazzetta dello Sport. The outlet claims that the Slovenian defender is a transfer target of Antonio Conte, the new coach of Napoli, who reportedly wants to bring the Korošec to the club in the winter transfer window. However, Conte can forget about such a scenario, say sources in Udine. Udinese continues to feel neither the desire nor the need to sell the Slovenian international.
“We have many players who have improved recently. Jaka Bijol? I dare say he is ready for a club like Napoli. He had an outstanding European Championship, and he is playing in great form this season as well. But we will keep him with us, he won’t leave. He can still become even better, especially in a leadership role on the field. He needs to be even more decisive,” explained Udinese’s director Andrea Carnevale regarding the Slovenian international’s future.
So, unless Udinese receives an offer they simply cannot refuse this winter, it seems that 25-year-old Jaka Bijol will continue to play in the black-and-white jersey of the club from the Stadio Friuli at least until the end of the season.
