Jaka Bijol is still on the sidelines, but he is slowly counting the days until his return to the field. If it weren’t for the injury at the end of last year, he might have been one of the Slovenian stars of the winter transfer window. In the past, many clubs, including Napoli, Juventus, Inter, and AC Milan, have shown interest in him. However, Jaka Bijol, who will likely be the subject of transfer rumors again after Euro 2024, says he’s not in a hurry to leave Videm.
Jaka Bijol emphasized during an interview with journalists that he feels very good at Udinese, also because, in his opinion, it is an environment where a player can work on his growth and progress in peace.
“Videm and Udinese are an excellent combination for the growth of a young player,” emphasized the Carinthian. Jaka Bijol continued: “We have everything, the club provides us with everything we need to work to the best of our abilities. Videm is a small and peaceful town, not many things to deal with and think about. You only need to think about football, and I think it’s the right place for a player to grow.”
25-year-old Jaka Bijol signed with the zebras from Videm a year and a half ago, during which time he has proven to be one of the most reliable and quality defenders in Serie A. Before that, he played for Bravo, Rudar from Velenje, Moscow’s CSKA, and Hannover.
