Leeds United has now approached a Liga club to sign a 24 -year -old defender alongside their move now confirmed for Jaka Bijol, according to a new report.
Leeds announces Jaka Bijol as the second summer signature
The whites said Bijol as one of their best transfer goals this summer, and on Saturday, it was confirmed that they had their man. Fabrizio Romano reported that Bijol had signed his contract and that the agreement received his brand “Here We Go”, the club from confirming a five -year contract until 2030.
It is said that the newly promoted team will pay the Italian outfit of 19 million pounds sterling to sign Bijol, although the announcement signals “uncluttered” costs. The 26 -year -old played 34 times in Serie A last season, which is the most he played in a single campaign in Serie A since he joined the club in 2022.
He became the second signature of Leeds of the summer, when they made their first addition last week, bringing Lukas Nmecha into a free transfer from Wolfsburg.

Leeds United could win a star who would soften the start of Junior Firpo.
Bijol will join Joe Rodon, Maximilian Wuber, Pascal Strujk and Ethan Ampadu as a recognized central defense options. But this list could soon be extended, because the winners of the championship title now seek to bring another new defender.
Leeds approaches real betis on the signing of Natan
According to ABC (June 23, page 71), relayed by word Leeds News, Leeds now questioned Real Betis on the conditions of an agreement to sign Natan this summer.
Natan joined the Spanish side for a loan agreement last summer of Serie in Napoli winners. The real Betis had the opportunity to make the agreement a permanent change, which they triggered this summer. However, Leeds is now working to find an agreement that could see Betis immediately collecting the 24 -year -old.
The Brazilian played 31 times at La Liga last season, helping the team keeping four clean leaves while he was on the field, as well as an average of 1.1 plated per game. Natan also played 15 times in the UEFA conference League, while Betis went to the final before losing against Chelsea.

Natan’s potential arrival in Elland Road could see a complete overhaul of the central defense of Leeds for next season, because the Brazilian could be twinned with Bijol from the start – he finds it difficult to believe that he would leave a starting role in the Liga for a place on the bench.
Natan has never played in English football, but he would bring a game experience to a high level with Betis and Napoli as well as in the European experience, which can surely benefit whites only in their quest for survival.
