“So pay attention to Jaka Bijol. An idea that could turn into a business.” With these words, the esteemed La Gazzetta dello Sport concluded a piece hinting that Jaka Bijol has garnered serious interest from a new suitor. There have reportedly been several over the past months.
In Italy, there have been months of reports regarding interest from Inter Milan. Recently, some media outlets mentioned Juventus, who are looking for a new defender following the serious injury to Gleison Bremer. The mentioned pink newspaper has also broadly discussed Napoli’s alleged interest, propelled by their new coach Antonio Conte, who currently leads the Serie A standings with five wins in seven matches.
“Napoli is considering pursuing a new central defender of the highest football level in January. They are looking for a player with international experience, preferably from Serie A. The target is a young player with an accessible salary, ready to step onto the field immediately. Numerous hints point to Jaka Bijol, a 25-year-old defender from Udinese who plays for the Slovenian national team,” La Gazzetta dello Sport continued. The publication added that Napoli’s advantage, which has reportedly been closely monitoring the Slovenian representative for some time, could be the strong relationships that have historically existed between Neapolitans and Videmčani.
All well and good, but the final decision will, of course, rest with Udinese, who have already proven to be tough negotiators. In the summer, the black-and-whites rejected all offers for the Korošec, stating that they were too low. They also added that a winter transfer is out of the question, and Jaka Bijol will leave, if at all, only after the season ends.
