Inter Milan Only Want To Sign Udinese Star On Loan Due To Ongoing Criminal Investigation | OneFootball

Inter Milan only want to sign Udinese defender Oumar Solet on loan due to an ongoing sexual assault investigation.

Italian outlet Gazzetta.it report that the Nerazzurri do not want to sign the Frenchman outright pending the result of the investigation.

Udinese defender Oumar Solet has reportedly risen up Inter’s shortlist of targets.

The 25-year-old is reportedly the player the Nerazzurri will move for in the event that they sell Benjamin Pavard.

Inter have missed out on other targets such as Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni. However, they are still considering a reshape of their backline.

There is one major hitch as far as the prospect of a deal for Solet, however.

The Udinese defender is currently under investigation for an alleged sexual assault which took place in Udine.

This obviously creates significant uncertainty regarding the player’s future. The investigation is still open, and Solet could even face jailtime.

For this time, Inter do not have any intention of signing Solet on a permanent basis immediately.

Rather, the Nerazzurri are aiming to sign the player on an initial loan. There would then be a purchase option in the deal, pending the outcome of the investigation.

The Gazzetta report that this purchase option would be worth around €20-25 million.
