Leeds United are on the verge of completing the high-profile signing of Slovenian international Jaka Bijol from Serie A side Udinese, with the player flying into West Yorkshire today for his medical.
The 26-year-old centre-back was photographed en route to England, sporting Leeds United colours, as anticipation builds around Elland Road. This comes after intense negotiations between the two clubs, with Leeds reportedly tabling an improved offer close to £17 million, which is now believed to have satisfied Udinese’s demands.
Bijol, known for his towering presence, leadership, and composure on the ball, is expected to slot straight into Daniel Farke’s backline as the club continues strengthening ahead of their promotion challenge or top-flight campaign.
Sources close to the deal confirm that only routine medical checks remain before the contract is officially signed. Bijol’s arrival would mark a major statement of intent from Leeds, who have been aggressively active in the transfer market this summer.
