Inter Milan Close In On Highly-Rated Udinese Defender As Price Tag Set At €25 Million | OneFootball

Inter Milan have identified Oumar Solet as a summer defensive target and are already in contact with the Udinese centre-back’s representatives.

The move hinges a key legal milestone on April 8th, according to journalist Nicolò Schira, via FCInterNews.

The French defender, formerly of Red Bull Salzburg, is valued at €25 million by Udinese.

Inter have opened dialogue with his agent Gordon Stipic, who also represents Hakan Calhanoglu, and are pressing to get a deal done.

Inter Await Legal Hearing Before Wrapping Up Deal For Udinese Man Solet

However, the club are awaiting the outcome of an April 8th hearing in Udine.

In which prosecutors are expected to request the dismissal of outstanding allegations of alleged sexual assault against the player.

Indeed, Inter are keen to see that legal process concluded before moving forward.

Once that hurdle is cleared, Solet is expected to return firmly to the transfer market.

Solet is still only 26 and has significant top-flight experience.

Therefore, he fits the profile of the younger, physically imposing defender Inter are targeting to reshape their backline.
