Jay Idzes in High Demand as Lecce Moves to Secure Indonesian Captain

Indonesian national team captain Jay Idzes has become one of the most sought-after players in the 2025 summer transfer window, with several Serie A clubs expressing strong interest. Among them, Lecce has emerged as a serious contender, reportedly preparing an approach to sign the Venezia FC defender. The club, which narrowly avoided relegation last season, is looking to bolster its backline ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.

Lecce’s interest in Idzes comes amid growing uncertainty around their current center-back Kalionda Gaspar, who is being targeted by several other clubs. Should Gaspar leave, Lecce sees Idzes as a prime candidate to fill the gap. The club’s efforts are supported by the expected arrival of Eusebio Di Francesco as their new head coach, a figure who previously worked with Idzes at Venezia and played a role in naming him captain.

This existing relationship between Di Francesco and Idzes could play a key role in influencing the defender’s decision, especially if the transition offers a clear path to continued leadership and regular playing time. Idzes is reportedly open to following his former coach to a new club, which could make negotiations smoother if Lecce moves quickly and decisively.

Despite Lecce’s early interest and strategic advantage, they face stiff competition from other Serie A clubs including Udinese, Bologna, Torino, and Fiorentina. Udinese, in particular, has already initiated contact with Venezia regarding the player. With his solid performances and leadership qualities, Idzes is now a hot commodity in Italian football, and the coming weeks will be crucial in determining his next move.
