The wheels are turning at Appiano Gentile. Reports reaching GoalZaza this Wednesday suggest Inter have effectively wrapped up the personal terms side of their pursuit for Oumar Solet. The French defender, currently plying his trade in Austria with Red Bull Salzburg, has become a focal point of Beppe Marotta's summer strategy. And if the whispers from Milan are accurate, the hardest part of the negotiation is already done.Nailing down the player's salary and contract length before agreeing a fee with the selling club is classic Inter. It's a tactic that has served them well in recent windows, allowing them to present a united front when they finally sit across the table from Udinese. Solet, it seems, has been convinced by the project at San Siro. The allure of a back three under Simone Inzaghi, a system that has turned defenders into protagonists, is clearly a compelling pitch.The real test now lies in bridging the gap between Inter's opening offer and Udinese's asking price. The Friulani are notoriously tough negotiators, especially when dealing with a direct rival. But the timing is favourable for the Nerazzurri. A structured deal, likely with performance related add ons, feels like the most probable outcome. Get this over the line, and Inzaghi adds a mobile, ball playing centre half who offers genuine tactical flexibility in both a low block and during transitional play. Don't be surprised if we see Solet in a black and blue kit before the pre season tour of Asia kicks off.
