Jay Idzes’ name is getting hotter and hotter on the market. According to reports in L’Eco di Bergamo, the Venezia defender, who has been the protagonist of a top season, has attracted the attention of several top Italian clubs, including Atalanta, Inter, Milan and Napoli. Confirming the rumors was his agent, Bilal Achenteh, who admitted the existence of contacts with several clubs: “We are in contact not only with Atalanta and Inter, but also with other clubs.”
Un difensore completo, adattabile alla difesa a tre
Born in the Netherlands but called up by the Indonesian national team because of his origins, Idzes is 24 years old and is one of the strengths of the Venice defense. With an imposing physique, skill in the aerial game and good technique with his right foot, the central player has stood out for his solidity in the heart of the lagoon rearguard. Used to playing in a three-man defense, he could be an ideal profile for clubs such as Atalanta and Inter, which often use this form.
Valore di mercato in crescita: il Venezia punta all’asta
Arriving in Italy in 2023, Idzes immediately showed steady growth. Currently his market value is around €3 million, but the price could increase considering the contract that binds him to Venezia until 2027. A situation that puts the lagoon club in a strong position in negotiations, making a sale in the summer market session likely.
With Atalanta looking for reinforcements in defense, Inter waiting to define the future of its defensive department, and Napoli and Milan interested in young prospects, the race for Idzes could become one of the most followed dossiers of the next market window.
