Udinese Star Top Target For Inter Milan If Netherlands EURO 2024 Hero Leaves | OneFootball

Udinese and Slovenia defender Jaka Bijol would be the top target for Inter Milan as a replacement for Stefan de Vrij if the Dutchman leaves.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.

Over the last few days, the rumours have been swirling regarding the future of Inter defender Stefan de Vrij.

Reportedly, coach Stefano Pioli wants to bring the 32-year-old to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad this summer.

And if de Vrij leaves, then Inter will certainly look to replace him.

The Dutchman was an important player for Inter last season. He was one of the two main options playing in the centre of the back three, along with Francesco Acerbi.

Therefore, if de Vrij is to be on his way, then the Nerazzurri will certainly be looking to make up for his loss.

And according to Tuttosport, Inter’s intention would be to sign a player who’s very much a like-for-like replacement for the former Lazio and Feyenoord defender.

Jaka Bijol Inter Milan’s Top Target To Replace Stefan De Vrij

According to Tuttosport, Inter would look to move for 25-year-old Udinese defender Bijol if de Vrij leaves.

Bijol has been playing for the Firulani for the last two seasons. He joined From CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2022.

And Bijol has impressed in his two seasons in Serie A.

The Slovenian has looked very much adept playing in the centre of a back three. That has naturally been a quality that has caught Inter’s attention.

Bijol is a tall, physically strong defender. He has shown good aerial ability and man-marking qualities around the penalty area.

That was on full display at the Euros this summer. Bijol won praise for his handling of strikers such as Harry Kane, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Rasmus Hojlund, and Cristiano Ronaldo at the tournament.

And according to Tuttosport, Inter would be ready to move for the 25-year-old if they are to sell de Vrij.
