Udinese Set Price Tag For Highly-Rated Defender As Inter Milan & AC Milan Prepare To Do Battle

Udinese have set their asking price for Oumar Solet at €25 million plus performance-related bonuses, with Inter Milan and AC Milan both eyeing the highly-rated centre-back ahead of the summer window.

According to Messaggero Veneto, via FCInterNews, the figure reflects a structural agreement between Udinese and the player’s entourage.

If no offer matching their valuation arrives, Solet will sign a bridge contract at a significantly higher salary, making him the best-paid player at the club and extending the expiry beyond 2027.

That arrangement gives Udinese considerable leverage despite the contract situation.

Inter Lead Domestic Race For Udinese Star Solet With Milan & Premier League Clubs Also Interested

In Italy, Inter are the most concrete suitors.

The Nerazzurri have already made direct enquiries with Udinese and tracked Solet for over a year.

Milan were also in contact last summer and retain an interest.

Indeed, with the two rivals potentially set to do battle for his signature in the summer window.

The competition extends beyond Italy.

At least four Premier League clubs are also monitoring the defender, adding further complexity to what promises to be one of the summer’s more contested pursuits.

It speaks volumes as to the player’s ability but Inter will be hoping they can secure the player before anyone else.
