Inter accelerate for Oumar Solet and in recent weeks have intensified contacts both with the defender's entourage and with Udinese. The talks that took place would have been positive and the Nerazzurri club would have already found a draft agreement with the player for next season. Before the blow can be finally struck, however, one last delicate step will be needed: the decision on the possible dismissal of the legal matter involving the French center back is expected by June 10th. Only after that moment will Inter be able to evaluate whether to transform the strong interest into a real negotiation in the definition phase.
Trattativa, contratto e valutazione: l’Inter prepara l’affondo
Solet is under contract with Udinese until June 2027 and the Friulian club, thanks to the excellent performances of the last season, will try to maximize his possible sale. Inter consider the Frenchman one of the most interesting profiles to strengthen the defensive department, especially due to his physical characteristics and experience already gained in Serie A. The Nerazzurri would have moved early and found total openness on the part of the player, attracted by the possibility of making the leap to a big Italian club and playing in the Champions League. At the moment we can talk about negotiations already well underway with Udinese, but not yet concluded. The relations between the parties remain constant and could intensify immediately after June 10, a date considered decisive for definitively clarifying the defender's off-field situation. The Transfermarkt valuation of the Frenchman is equal to 20 million, a figure that Inter will probably even have to exceed to snatch the central defender from Udinese.
L’identikit del difensiore: fisicità dominante e tecnica da mediano
Born in 2000, one meter and ninety two tall, Solet is the classic modern central defender with great physical strength but also capable of playing the ball. He prefers the role of left arm, although he is able to adapt to all positions of a 3-man defence. The Frenchman is very aggressive in marking and loves to come out strong on the man, often trying to anticipate, a characteristic that has attracted the attention of several European clubs in recent years. His main quality remains the ability to dominate in individual duels: difficult to overcome in one-on-one situations, very strong in the air and quick despite his imposing structure. At Udinese he also showed significant growth in managing possession, often becoming the team's first defensive director. In a three-man line like the Nerazzurri, he could represent an ideal profile in terms of intensity, athleticism and ability to defend with a lot of pitch behind him.
Analisi stagione: continuità e crescita in Serie A
The 2025/26 season was that of Solet's definitive consecration in Serie A. With the Udinese shirt he made 34 league appearances, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist, important numbers for a central defender. In addition to the offensive data, what was convincing above all was the continuity and leadership shown throughout the year. The Frenchman quickly became one of the cornerstones of the Friulian rearguard, standing out for defensive recoveries, duels won and physical presence on set pieces. Performances that have attracted the interest of Inter, ready to sink the blow if the definitive green light arrives by 10 June to resolve any issues off the pitch.
