Inter Milan faces renewed transfer market concerns as they seem hesitant to raise their rejected €20 million offer for Udinese defender Oumar Solet. This stance opens the door for Atletico Madrid to potentially make a move for the player.
The Nerazzurri have encountered a series of transfer market setbacks, operating under stringent spending limits despite their recent Serie A and Coppa Italia double triumph. Previously, Marco Palestra was acquired by Chelsea, who offered double the wage package and €10 million more to Atalanta. Now, Inter risks losing another transfer target.
Inter’s Reluctance to Meet Solet’s Asking Price
Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport confirm that Inter has not increased their €20 million bid for Udinese defender Solet. This offer was previously rejected, with Udinese seeking €25 million. However, there is no indication of Inter preparing an improved proposal from the San Siro club.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring the situation and preparing to intervene with a competitive offer. This scenario mirrors their previous success in January when Inter’s prolonged negotiations with Atalanta for Ademola Lookman allowed Atletico to secure the player.
Considering the current reports indicating Chelsea’s €35 million valuation for Trevoh Chalobah, another reported Inter target also sought by Como, the Nerazzurri may need to explore other, more affordable defensive options.
English Translation
Inter Milan is not prepared to increase their offer for Oumar Solet, as Atletico Madrid could swoop in. Alarm bells are ringing again for Inter, who do not appear ready to go above their rejected €20 million offer for Udinese defender Oumar Solet, as Atletico Madrid prepares to get involved.
It has been a series of disappointments on the transfer market for the Nerazzurri, who have placed very strict limits on their spending, despite winning the Serie A and Coppa Italia Double. Marco Palestra was snatched away when Chelsea came in with double their wage offer and €10 million more to Atalanta, while they now risk losing another target too.
Inter Unwilling to Pay Solet’s Asking Price
Confirmation is coming in from Gazzetta dello Sport that Inter have not budged from their €20 million bid for Udinese defender Solet. This was rejected, with the Friulani asking for €25 million, but there is no sign of any further improvement in the proposal coming from San Siro.
Instead, Atletico Madrid are hovering around the situation and preparing to step in with a winning offer, just as they did when Inter dragged on the talks with Atalanta for Ademola Lookman in January. Considering the reports today that Chelsea want €35 million for Trevoh Chalobah, who is also a target for Como, then the Nerazzurri might have to go down the list of options to find an affordable defender.
