Crystal Palace Pursues Defender Oumar Solet from Udinese
Serie A club Udinese has seen heightened interest in defender Oumar Solet from multiple teams, but it is Premier League side Crystal Palace that is showing significant interest in acquiring the player.
Solet, who joined Udinese as a free agent in January 2025, quickly established himself as a key player thanks to his impressive ball skills. His performances have attracted attention beyond Italy, including inquiries from Serie A heavyweights.
Recent reports from Orazio Accomando indicate that Crystal Palace intends to make a move for Solet, reportedly prepared to submit an offer of €25 million for his services. While the official bid has not yet been placed, there is a possibility that Solet may not participate in Udinese’s upcoming match against Monza if the deal progresses.
This potential transfer could be a strategic decision for Crystal Palace, as Solet’s prowess on the field and strong physical attributes could make him a valuable asset in the English league. Such qualities previously prompted interest from Inter Milan earlier in the transfer window.
With Crystal Palace potentially in need of defensive reinforcements, recruiting Solet at a reasonable price could prove to be a savvy move for the club.
Serie A side Udinese have constantly seen Oumar Solet get linked with a host of clubs in Italy and abroad but it is Crystal Palace who are increasingly keen on the player.
The Frenchman joined Udinese on a free transfer in January 2025 and has been one of their standout players since. He has impressed with his ability on the ball, which led to links to Serie A giants.

Orazio Accomando has now reported that it is Crystal Palace who have swooped in for Solet. They are ready to offer a fee worth €25 million to sign the defender.
The offer is yet to be made but if it does come forward, there is a chance Solet may not feature for Udinese against Monza tomorrow.
The deal could be excellent and even potentially a bargain, as a player of Solet’s ability on the ball and physical traits could thrive in England. That is also a reason why Inter were keen earlier this summer.
Besides, Crystal Palace could soon need a defensive addition and Solet could be a clever addition indeed and he would come at an affordable fee.
