Although there aren\u2019t expected to be any Leeds United signings confirmed until June is over, one might just squeeze over the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 49ers<\/a> are hoping to produce a masterclass in this summer\u2019s window with the Premier League<\/a> in sight.<\/p>\n

Paraag Marathe plans to spend \u2018every last penny\u2019<\/a> with PSR restrictions minimal for Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean the ownership can get too carried away though, as despite \u00a3150m potentially available<\/a>, this seems far from the truth.<\/p>\n

However, something that isn\u2019t far from the truth is that one player is on the verge of agreeing to the first deal of an exciting window.<\/p>\n

The main man who is expected to complete a move to Leeds in the coming weeks is Udinese\u2019s Jaka Bijol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds have been strong on signing Bijol<\/a> for the past week, and this is bound to become a reality for Daniel Farke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The centre-back dreams of a Premier League move<\/a>, and the Whites seem to be the perfect landing spot despite interest from both Inter and AC Milan.<\/p>\n

In recent days, Leeds have had a bid rejected for Bijol<\/a>, and even though the figure is unknown, Bijol\u2019s asking price is \u00a318-19m<\/a>, so it\u2019s expected to be in this vicinity.<\/p>\n

Well, in an exciting update, chief transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey has revealed to LeedsUnited.News<\/strong> that the 49ers are set to land the Slovenian for even cheaper, with his feelings clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cTold that talks are ongoing\u2026we expect a deal worth \u00a315million to be agreed,\u201d Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe player has made it clear he wants move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds look set to have an unstoppable duo in defence<\/p>\n

Finally, after two dismal transfer windows, the 49ers are acting quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

If the \u00a315m fee is to come to fruition, this would be an incredible piece of business as the 26-year-old has been highly impressive over in Italy.<\/p>\n

Bijol has been called \u2018brilliant\u2019<\/a> as the Slovenian makes for assured cover in defence, and alongside Joe Rodon<\/a> next season, the 49ers have found the recipe to success.<\/p>\n\n\nBijol in 24\/25 league season<\/td>\nRodon in 24\/25 league season<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGames played<\/td>\n34<\/td>\n46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTackles won %<\/td>\n58.1%<\/td>\n59.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAerial duels won <\/td>\n110<\/td>\n122<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAerial duels won per 90<\/td>\n3.34<\/td>\n2.65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuels won %<\/td>\n57%<\/td>\n62.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPass accuracy %<\/td>\n83.8%<\/td>\n92.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Two hard-hitting defenders are exactly what the Whites need to stay in the Premier League, as physicality will be the issue Farke wants solved.<\/p>\n

The likelihood is that Bijol will soon don the white of Leeds, as the next few weeks could be very telling for his future.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although there aren\u2019t expected to be any Leeds United signings confirmed until June is over, one might just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,70462,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-183844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-jaka-bijol","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114681950157341718","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
