Udinese & Lazio Defenders On Inter Milan Shortlist As Planning For Defensive Rebuild Gets Underway | OneFootball

Inter Milan have added Udinese man Oumar Solet and Lazio defender Mario Gila to their defensive shortlist for the summer, two 2000-born centre-backs offering the quality and longevity Cristian Chivu demands.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Inter’s hierarchy are actively drawing up their defensive targets as a major summer rebuild approaches.

Solet carries a particularly interesting angle.

He shares an agent, Gordon Stipic, with Hakan Calhanoglu.

Indeed, Calhanoglu’s contract runs to 2027 and renewal talks are expected. Solet’s situation could naturally surface within those very same conversations.

Furthermore, Solet’s profile suits Chivu’s system well.

He is right-footed but plays naturally as a left centre-back, a potential Bastoni alternative in that specific role.

Gila, meanwhile, has drawn interest from both Inter and AC Milan. A market derby for the Lazio defender now looks increasingly possible.

However, both Lazio and Udinese tend to negotiate firmly. The fee each club sets could prove the decisive factor in which target Inter pursue first.

Therefore, alongside Muharemovic, who has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal, Solet and Gila represent the next layer of Inter’s defensive planning this summer.

Both have Serie A experience and Inter would represent the logical step forward for both players.
