UDINE. Five million euros to CSKA Moscow to get immediately to Jaka Bijol, a 23-year-old Slovenian international with a “past” as a midfielder and a future as a central defender. Here is the latest idea for Udinese’s new defense from Gino Pozzowhich according to what leaks from the Bosphorus has left the negotiations for the 29-year-old alive Marcel Tisserandalways waiting for a call from Udine as he himself wanted to remember yesterday with a story on Instagram in which he let himself be filmed with his mobile phone in his hand in an outdoor café in Istanbul.
CALL
Who knows, maybe in a few days it will also be up to the expert defender of Fenerbache to receive the call that will take him to Friuli, but in the meantime yesterday it was the negotiation, given at the end, for Jaka Bijol, a name that has been cleverly hidden even by the classic market rumors in which the Slovenian had not appeared.
It is not the first and it will not be the last time that Udinese has come up with this kind of operation, taking advantage of the hidden work away from the spotlight, and therefore it is no wonder that the operation was kept in great secrecy.
However, for the Bianconeri emissaries they had turned on in recent times following the Slovenian national team, where that Password Lovric just arrived at the court of Andrea Sottiland where Bijol already has 31 games, the last of which, played at Stozice in Ljubljana on 12 June, in the 2-2 against Serbia, seems to have been the one that triggered the operation.
CURRICULUM
Born on February 5, 1999 and with right foot, the Slovenian made his senior national team debut at the age of 19 in 2018, the year in which CSKA Moscow paid him 500,000 from Rudar Velenje.
In the first two years in Moscow, Bijol played as a midfielder (in the first year also in front of Rodrigo Becaoplaced in defense), playing the role of midfielder in front of the defense also at Hannover, where he was shot on loan in 2020, and where he took the place of Walace who had left the club after relegation to the Bundesliga 2.
Once back in Moscow, in the season just ended, the boy from Vuzenica has always played in the rear. Given his performances, Bijol has established himself more and more as a central defender and that is precisely the role in which Sottil should use him. The two will talk about it again in a few days once the deal is done, after the medical examinations that could start already in the week.
AT THE WINDOW
All remembering that in addition to Tisserand, Udinese also monitors Riccardo Marchizza of Sassuolo and that one of the latest combinations leads to the left-back Enzo Ebosse from Angers, a 23-year-old Cameroonian.
