Udinese is asking for a sum exceeding 25 million for the French defender. The Nerazzurri have put 6 million on the table for the loan
Ok, the strategy is right. To crumble Udinese’s wall, burn out the competition and give Cristian Chivu a completely new defender. If the negotiation between Inter and the Juventus club for Oumar Solet had to be summed up with the title of a TV show, this would probably be it. Because in the last few hours the Nerazzurri management has opted for a slight change of plan – or more correctly for a more suffocating pressure – to convince the Pozzo family to deprive themselves of their jewel. Raising the investment especially with regards to the loan. Onerous, indeed very onerous: 6 million immediately, subsequently inserting a redemption obligation under very easily achievable conditions. A sort of pledge, those 6 million, a promise that in any case the defender would certainly be redeemed a few months later. Thus the total offer would exceed the “quota 25” imposed by Udinese – reaching 26 million – and would precisely coincide with the requests of the Juventus club. It is difficult, if not almost impossible, to resist such a move from Inter, who are increasingly focused on the name of the former Salzburg player for the defense of the future. Ausilio has confirmed his interest, Chivu appreciates him very much, the profile is fully in line with Oaktree parameters: in practice, Solet represents the ideal candidate.

Inter’s objective – just like Palestra – is to take advantage of Solet’s absence from the World Cup to speed up every operation and make him available to Chivu starting from the summer training camp. The team will meet in Milan before leaving for Germany, destination Donaueschingen, Baden-Württemberg, where they will remain from 16 to 25 July before returning to Italy. The German retreat will end with a friendly match with Karlsruher, a Bundesliga 2 club. It won’t be an official match, but it could coincide with the first Nerazzurri match in Solet (and Palestra).
