Oumar Solet to Inter

Quiet since 17 June 2026. Last report: Sky Sport (Italia). Probability when it went quiet: 5%.

Inter are pushing to sign Oumar Solet from Udinese, and the direction of travel is clear even if the paperwork isn't. The 26 year old defender has personal terms lined up, reportedly worth €2.4m a year to 2031, and Sky Sport Italia's latest line has Inter advancing on both Solet and Provedel in the same move. The obstacle is simple: Udinese have been holding out for €25m, Inter's bids have crept from €20m to €22m plus bonuses, and neither side has blinked all the way to an agreement. The reporting here is about as strong as club-to-club rumours get in Italy. Sky Sport Italia have carried the story consistently since early June and again on 17 June, and their track record on Serie A business gives this real weight. Gianluigi Longari has corroborated the €22m figure and the player's willingness to join, while Nicolo Schira adds that personal terms are done. Three separate voices telling a consistent story is about as solid as this stage of a deal gets. Call it finely balanced, tilting toward Inter getting their man but not there yet. Personal terms are sorted and the player wants it, which removes one classic blocker. What is missing is the last few million between the clubs, and with Solet's contract ticking down to 2027 under a club option, Udinese have less leverage the longer this drags. The freshest reporting is over a week old now, which caps how far this can be pushed either way today. Inter have paid exactly this kind of fee for defenders before. They signed a centre back from Sassuolo for €21m in 2019, and separately paid €21m each for defenders from Genoa and from A
