Besiktas step up interest in Udinese defender Oumar Solet

Published on: 12 November 2026

Besiktas have reportedly made an offer to Udinese for Oumar Solet, with the Turkish club aiming to sign the Cote d’Ivoire defender during the winter transfer window.

The approach was reported by Ekrem Konur, but Besiktas face strong competition for the 26-year-old. Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus are also monitoring Solet’s situation and could make their own moves soon.

Solet is under contract with Udinese until June 2027, giving the Italian club a strong negotiating position. Udinese are understood to value the defender at between 25m and 30m euros.

Transfermarkt currently places Solet’s market value at 20m euros. It remains to be seen whether Besiktas can persuade Udinese to sell during the upcoming winter window.

Arthur Boka: ‘Oumar Solet and Inter Milan would be a perfect match’

Arthur Boka has said that a move to Inter Milan would suit Solet, describing the potential pairing as “a perfect match”.

Udinese’s next fixture will be against Bologna in the 12th round of the Italian league. The match is priced at 4.40 for an Udinese win, with a draw at 3.40 and a Bologna victory at 1.52.
