Bijol<\/a>, as the 26-year-old Slovenian centre-back has agreed to terms, with talks ongoing for a \u00a317million fee.<\/p>\n<p>Delays could allow rival clubs to hijack the deal, given Bijol\u2019s 63 caps and Serie A experience. <\/p>\n<p>Arranging his medical promptly is crucial to secure his signature before competitors escalate interest, especially with Udinese holding firm at their valuation. <\/p>\n<p>Bijol\u2019s physicality and leadership would bolster Leeds\u2019 defence alongside Joe Rodon, addressing their need for Premier League resilience. <\/p>\n<p>Once confirmed, Leeds should pivot to alternative targets like Habib Diarra to strengthen other positions.<\/p>\n<p>Speed is essential to avoid losing Bijol and to build a squad capable of surviving the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds must schedule his medical in the coming days and ensure that he\u2019s fully on board to move to Elland Road and that he\u2019ll not get swayed by any other club\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n<p>Related Posts<\/p>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit:
