Beşiktaş, who are continuing their efforts to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the winter transfer window, have a new name on the agenda. The Istanbul club are understood to be keeping close tabs on Oumar Solet, the French centre-back who plays for Italian Serie A side Udinese.
It is reported that a formal transfer approach could be made during the winter window for the 1.92 m defender, whose performances are being monitored meticulously by the Istanbul club's scouting team.
The 26-year-old, whose contract with Udinese runs until June 2027 and also includes an option to extend for a further year, is said to have a market value of around €20m. The experienced centre-back, who has seen limited playing time this season because of injuries, has featured in 6 Serie A matches.
Solet, who began his career in France, played for Laval and Olympique Lyon before moving to Austrian side Salzburg in 2020 for a transfer fee of €4.5m. The French defender, who headed to Italy after four successful seasons at Salzburg, stands out for his physical strength and athletic build.
