Interviewed by Venetian Messengerthe Juventus technical director Gianluca Nani he spoke about the future of Jaka Bijol: “We consider the Slovenian to be much stronger than the figures they offered us this summer. What if Inter knocks? A player of this caliber is not sold halfway through the season. In that case, we would say to wait. Bijol is a defender for a top club, for the Premier League or for one of the top three in Italy. He is a great leader and has embraced our project because he is happy with us. So no offer for him has ever been considered”, his statements on the defender deployed for 90 minutes in all four of the first matches of this season by mister Runjaic.
Inter’s pressing
Having arrived in Udine in the summer of 2022 from CSKA Moscow, today the ’99-born player – among the many interests in Italy and abroad – represents Inter’s first choice to replace at least one between Acerbi and De Vrij in 2025-2026, bringing a new breath of fresh air to the defensive department of the squad after the latest movements saw the arrival of Pavard, Bisseck and Palacios. The last piece of the mosaic, therefore, to further extend the life of the Beneamata’s solid defense, one of the secrets of the winning cycle of recent years.
