Romano: "No Atta! Ausilio has mentioned a name. At what price can a deal be closed for Solet?"

The market expert Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Inter’s negotiations during an appearance on his YouTube channel. The focus was on operations to strengthen the midfield and defense.

As for Atta, Romano ruled out any concrete interest: “For the midfield, at the moment there is no confirmation of the rumors linking Atta to Inter. The Nerazzurri management’s priority remains Curtis Jones, a profile identified some time ago by Piero Ausilio as the ideal reinforcement for the midfield. However, negotiations with Liverpool are not simple: Inter started with a valuation of around 20 million euros, while the Reds continue to ask for over 30 million, plus bonuses and a possible percentage on a future resale. If the deal for Jones does not go through, the club will consider alternatives, but at present there are no concrete contacts for Atta.”

On the defensive front, the pursuit of Solet continues. The French center-back from Udinese reportedly received inquiries from Germany in recent hours, but has decided to put all discussions on hold. The meeting between the two clubs was described as positive: “Progress, instead, on the Oumar Solet front. The Udinese defender remains one of the main targets to strengthen the backline and in recent weeks has also attracted interest from a major German club. Despite this, the player is said to have put all talks on standby, giving absolute priority to Inter.

Inter’s interest in Solet goes back a long way. Ausilio was already following him during his time at Salzburg, but due to physical problems and off-field issues, the transfer never materialized. Today, however, the conditions seem different and contacts between Inter and Udinese are continuing in a positive atmosphere.

The latest meeting between the clubs was considered fruitful: Inter is said to have started with a base offer of 17-18 million euros plus bonuses, while Udinese values the player at around 30 million. The parties are working to close the gap and an agreement could be found at around 23-25 million in total. The negotiation is not yet at its final stage, but the player’s willingness and the good relations between the clubs are elements that fuel optimism.”
