Beşiktaş has initiated a move for Oumar Solet, a centre-back who plays for Serie A side Udinese. While the club is reportedly working from a list provided by coach Vincenzo Italiano, this interest has been described as a surprise claim. Beşiktaş plans to make an offer for the 26-year-old Ivorian player during the winter transfer window. Solet, who joined Udinese in January 2025, has a contract with the club until June 2027 and a current market value of €20.00M, according to Transfermarkt. Several other Serie A clubs, including Napoli, Inter, and Juventus, have also been linked with the defender. During the summer of 2026, Udinese's asking price was reportedly between €25 million and €30 million, and offers from clubs like Inter were said to be in the €20-23 million range.
