What happened: Reports on Wednesday indicate Inter Milan have reached an agreement in principle on personal terms with Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet. The Nerazzurri are also said to be closing in on the asking price set by Udinese for the 26-year-old defender. A formal agreement between the clubs has not yet been confirmed.

Why it matters: Adding Solet would deepen the backline as Inter prepare to defend their Serie A title, reinforcing a position the club has prioritized this window. Securing personal terms early gives Inter leverage as negotiations over the fee with Udinese enter their final stages.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation that Inter and Udinese have aligned on the fee, the trigger for a medical and an official announcement.
