Jaka Bijol has completed a move to Leeds United, signing his contract with the newly promoted Premier League side.

The 26-year-old had completed his medical tests with the English club earlier this week.

As previously reported by Romano, Leeds have secured the centre-back’s services for €22m, including add-ons, while Bijol has agreed to a four-year contract, expiring in June 2029.

Bijol joined Udinese from CSKA Moscow in 2022 for just €4m.

He has scored five goals and provided four assists in 95 appearances across all competitions with Udinese.
