Inter Milan step up pursuit of Ivory Coast-born defender Oumar Solet

Inter Milan have intensified their search for new signings ahead of the summer transfer window, with Ivory Coast-born defender Oumar Solet and Beninese-origin midfielder Arthur Atta emerging as players of interest following talks with fellow Serie A side Udinese.

The Italian giants held discussions with Udinese on Tuesday as they continue evaluating options to strengthen their squad for next season.

The meeting focused on several potential transfer targets, with Solet and Atta among the names reportedly discussed.

Solet has become one of the most sought-after defenders at Udinese following a series of impressive performances in Serie A.

The 26-year-old centre-back is now being viewed as a serious option for Inter as the club looks to reinforce its defensive department ahead of a new campaign.

Born in Ivory Coast, Solet has attracted growing attention from clubs across Europe, with his displays in Italy earning him a reputation as one of the standout defenders at Udinese.

Inter’s interest reflects the increasing demand for players capable of combining experience with consistency at the highest level.

The discussions also included Atta, the 23-year-old midfielder of Beninese origin who has continued to impress with his development at Udinese.

Inter are reportedly monitoring the midfielder as they seek to add energy and depth to their midfield options.

Atta’s rise has been one of the encouraging stories for African football followers, with the young midfielder steadily building his profile in one of Europe’s top leagues.

His performances have helped establish him as a player with considerable potential and have now attracted the attention of one of Italy’s biggest clubs.

Despite the growing speculation, no agreement has been reached between the clubs.

Reports suggest the meeting was primarily aimed at allowing Inter to gather detailed information on both players and assess the feasibility of potential moves.

The continued dialogue between the two clubs, however, indicates that both Solet and Atta remain firmly on Inter’s radar as preparations for the transfer window gather pace.

The valuations attached to the two players also highlight their growing importance. Solet is reportedly valued at around €23 million, while Atta is valued at approximately €25 million.
