crystal Chivu outlined his first acquisition for next season. The Romanian coach will strengthen his defense in the conditions in which several players will sign their contracts with Inter in the summer, and the first installment is Oumar Soletfrom Udinese.
The Italian champions will part ways with Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian and possibly Stefan De Vrij, but Alessandro Bastoni, courted by Barcelona and, more recently, Real Madrid, could also leave at the end of the season. Just as it is not excluded that Carlos Augusto also arrives at AS Roma, as a currency for the transfer of Manu Kone.
Chivu put two names of central defenders, Tarik Muharemovic and Oumar Solet on the list of summer signings. In the case of the Bosnian, owned by Sassuolo in co-ownership with Juventus, there is competition from Serie A and, above all, from the Premier League.

The French stopper is more accessible, appreciated by those from Inter for his ability to start construction, in addition to his very good aerial game.
According to the information published by mercato specialist Nicolo Schira, Solet (26 years, 1.92m) would have already accepted the financial conditions proposed by sporting director Piero Ausilio.
Solet accepted a salary of 2.4 million euros net annually. Inter transfers the French stopper permanently in 2027
Solet would sign a contract valid until June 30, 2031, and the accepted salary is 2.4 million euros net per year. With 60% more than what he currently earns at the Friulian team, with which he still has 13 months of commitment.

Udinese would conclude a super deal because they signed him for free in January 2025, and now he is quoted on Transfermarkt at 20 million euros.
Inter would take him on loan, with an implied obligation to buy (on the day he gets his first point in February 2027!).
