Report – Inter Milan & Napoli Go Head-To-Head For In-Demand Udinese & Slovenia Star | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Napoli will battle it out for the signature of Udinese center-back Jaka Bijol in the summer transfer window.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, both teams have reignited their interest in the Slovenia international.

Jaka Bijol has been on Inter’s radar for almost a year.

However, the club refused to accelerate talks with Udinese over his arrival last summer.

Now that one between Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij could leave the club, things could change.

In addition to Inter, Napoli will try to take Bijol away from the Bluenergy Stadium.

Despite landing Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino last summer, Antonio Conte is keen to add to his defensive options.

Therefore, Napoli will rival Inter off the pitch.

However, Bijol won’t come cheap, with Udinese demanding around €20 million to let him go.

Bjiol starred in Slovenia’s decent EURO 2024 campaign last summer.

As such, his price tag skyrocketed, and it could continue to grow if he maintains this form at the end of the season.
