Daniel Farke unwilling to sanction Jaka Bijol exit in January, plan revealed

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has no intention of sanctioning a permanent departure or exit for Jaka Bijol during the January transfer window, according to Football Insider. Despite struggling for regular playing time this season, the 27-year-old Slovenian center-back remains an important part of Farke's tactical plans for the remainder of the campaign.

Bijol joined Leeds from Udinese in summer 2025 for a reported £15 million fee and made 31 appearances in his debut season. Although he has started only three Premier League matches this term, Farke values his presence as cover in Leeds United's three-center-back system.
