Udinese Certain Nottingham Forest Transfer Target Will Sign For Inter Milan – Asking Price Revealed | OneFootball

Udinese reportedly expect their defender Jaka Bijol to leave this summer as Inter Milan join the fray for his signature.

The 25-year-old joined the Zebrette in the summer of 2022 following a stint at CSKA Moscow.

He immediately cemented himself as a regular starter at the Stadio Friuli, carving himself a place at the very heart of the three-man defense.

The Slovenia international also earned himself more suitors during his national team’s impressive EURO 2024 campaign.

According to Il Messaggero Veneto via FcInter1908, Udinese realize that their star defender is on his way out of the club.

The Slovenian has no shortage of suitors, with a host of European clubs queuing up for his services.

As the source explains, Nottingham Forest was the first club to come knocking on the door.

The Premier League side was then followed by Bundesliga side Stuttgart, and the Serie A duo of Atalanta and Bologna.

But in recent days, Inter have rekindled their interest in the player.

As we reported earlier today, the Nerazzurri have identified Bijol as their ideal profile to replace Stefan de Vrij in case the Dutchman ends up leaving the club this summer.

The report adds that Inter president Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio have been monitoring the defender recently. They scouted his performances for both Udinese and the Slovenian national team.

Moreover, the source reveals that Udinese have named their price at 17 million euros. The Vuzenica native has a contract valid until June 2027.

So we shall see if Inter would be willing to meet the Zebrette’s valuation, or if another suitor will prevail in the race.

But in any case, Udinese are already preparing for life without Bijol, as Il Messaggero Veneto tells it.
