“SHOCKING TRANSFER BOMBSHELL! Leeds Snag ‘WORLD-CLASS’ Superstar in Jaw-Dropping Deal for Farke – You Won’t Believe Who!”
Leeds United have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Udinese centre-back Jaka Bijol for approximately £19 million, as per Fabrizio Romano.
With all three promoted clubs suffering immediate relegation in the past two Premier League seasons, Leeds are taking swift action to ensure they avoid a similar fate.
The Yorkshire side is moving quickly in the transfer market to reinforce their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement, stating that a deal between Leeds and Udinese is complete, with the Slovenian international set to undergo a medical shortly.
Personal terms have already been finalised, and the total transfer fee is believed to be €22 million, including add-ons.
“EXCLUSIVE: Leeds United agree deal to sign Jaka Bijol from Udinese, club to club deal done and here we go! Agreement for €22m transfer fee add-ons included and personal terms also in place for centre back to join #LUFC. New defender set for medical soon,” Romano posted.
Bijol, labelled as “outstanding” by former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, is a commanding presence at the back.
His arrival would bolster Daniel Farke’s defensive options and he is expected to slot straight into the starting XI.
If completed, he will be Leeds’ second summer signing, following the announcement that Lukas Nmecha will join on a free transfer from Wolfsburg on July 1.
This proactive approach from Leeds is an encouraging sign for fans. Securing key signings before pre-season begins will give the squad ample time to integrate, potentially setting a strong foundation for the upcoming season.
With Bijol and Nmecha potentially arriving before players return from their holidays, the club’s transfer strategy appears well underway.
