Transfer News: Manchester United Eye Udinese Defender Oumar Solet
Last Updated: The Red Devils could rejuvenate their squad with the signing of Oumar Solet, having already got Matheus Cunha on board in the summer transfer window. Udinese Calcio centre-back Oumar Solet could follow Matheus Cunha's footsteps and join Manchester United on a £34 Million Deal. According to a report by TBR, the Red Devils could land Solet as their next signing after the footballer's agent, Claudio Pasqualin, indicated the 24-year-old is planning a move from his Serie A club. Pasqualin noted that Solet may leave Udinese following talks between the two clubs. 'I would say yes, even if they (the owners) have never sold in a hurry. Haste, in this case, could make potential buyers procrastinate, influencing the negotiations, so I believe that the objective (a sale) will be achieved, even if not easily and in a short time," the agent said as quoted by TBR. In his young career, 25-year-old Solet has notched up a solitary goal and made two assists over 19 appearances across competitions but his main point of impact has been the 92 recoveries and 20 winning duels he has made in his Serie A term. The TBR report claims United could firm up plans to sign the youngster for a £34 Million Deal, which fits the club's budget constraints but also their philosophy of buying value for money talents. Manager Ruben Amorim is keen to replenish United's front line after none of their players managed to score 20 times in the Premier League's goalscoring chart. United struggled in the Premier League 2024/25 season, finishing 15th with 42 points before going on to also lose the Europa League final to Tottenham. Having initially set their eyes on Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who is now set for a move to Chelsea, United signed Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian footballer got on board last week after signing a five-year deal, where he will be earning £200,000 per week. Cunha's move from Wolverhampton Wanderers could pave the way for him to become United's second-highest earner if Bruno Fernandes leaves the club for Al Hilal. United lost out on £100 million windfall by losing the Europa League final but Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ongoing cutbacks may leave the club room to manoeuvre, especially if Fernandes' Al-Hilal move materialises. The skipper's departure could also allow United to sign Cameron and Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo after David Ornstein's revelation that he wishes to join the Red Devils. First Published:

Solet a complicated target for Inter as Udinese set daunting asking price
Solet a complicated target for Inter as Udinese set daunting asking price Inter have added Oumar Solet of Udinese to their list of potential targets to strengthen their defence next summer, but the Bianconeri's asking price could pose a significant obstacle. The former RB Salzburg player joined the Serie A side on a free transfer last October and, despite only being eligible to play from January, he quickly adapted and earned a starting spot in Kosta Runjaic's team. LECCE, ITALY – FEBRUARY 21: Lorenzo Lucca (L), Oumar Solet (C) and Alexis Sanchez (R) of Udinese during the Serie A match between Lecce and Udinese at Stadio Via del Mare on February 21, 2025 in Lecce, Italy. (Photo by) Solet's impressive performances in Italian football, marked by his strength, speed, and anticipation skills that frequently nullified opposing strikers, saw him grab attention and attract interest from several clubs, including Inter. Udinese's demands for Solet make Inter transfer difficult The Nerazzurri had already been monitoring his defensive partner, Jaka Bijol, but Solet's recent displays have shifted their focus to the Frenchman, as they reportedly sent a representative to explore the possibility of a transfer. Advertisement However, Tuttomercatoweb reported that Udinese has set an asking price of €30 million, which may be considered excessive for a player whose standout performances have been limited to a short period. Oumar Solet of Udinese Calcio walks off after getting a red card during the Serie A match between Como 1907 and Udinese Calcio at Stadio G. Sinigaglia on January 20, 2025 in Como, Italy. (Photo by) Solet recently made a notable impression in front of Inter's players and directors, as he was his team's best player in their 2-1 defeat at the San Siro. He scored his first Serie A goal, finishing off a solo run from midfield with a powerful shot past Yan Sommer from outside the box.
