The 25-year-old centre-back arrives from Serie A side Udinese and is expected to play a pivotal role under manager Daniel Farke’s plans to secure promotion back to the Premier League.
Bijol, who has earned a reputation for his aerial dominance and intelligent positioning, expressed his excitement at joining the historic English club. “Leeds is a massive club with a passionate fanbase and strong ambition. I’m proud to wear this shirt and can’t wait to get started,” he said during his presentation while holding the famous white jersey.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke welcomed the move, praising Bijol’s leadership qualities and European experience. “Jaka brings not only physical presence but also maturity and a calmness that will benefit our backline,” Farke noted.
The move signals Leeds United’s intent to reinforce key areas as they aim to mount a serious challenge in the Championship. Bijol’s addition is viewed as a major statement of intent from the Yorkshire club, with fans hopeful that his arrival marks the beginning of a transformative transfer window.
