Although barely recovered from an injury that took away several months of the 2023/24 season, Jaka Bijol played Tuesday’s match against Portugal at a “professorial” level. The excellent defender of Slovenia, in tandem with Miha Blažič, pocketed the superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, just two days after the spectacle in Stožice, and now he’s also being talked about by the prestigious La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian sports newspaper suggests that Jaka Bijol will almost certainly leave Udinese at the end of the season, while also mentioning a new candidate to sign with the former member of Bravo from Ljubljana. La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Jaka Bijol has caught the eye of Roma, after the green light for the transfer was reportedly given by Daniele De Rossi, the club’s coach. De Rossi’s analyst, who previously worked at Udinese before moving to Olimpico, is said to have spoken well of Bijol.
Italian media add that Udinese is currently demanding at least €15 million in exchange for the 25-year-old Slovenian player, with La Gazzetta dello Sport adding that “his price could further rise after the European Championship in the summer“.
