According to sources close to the situation cited by Caughtoffside, Udinese aim to maintain strong leverage in January for Oumar Solet. An initial asking price is expected to be in the mid-to-high range with bonuses. A loan with an option to buy is a possibility. Premier League clubs are likely to propose instalments and performance-related add-ons to fit Financial Sustainability rules. Wage structure and non-homegrown quotas will also be factors in any decision.

Crystal Palace is one of five Premier League clubs monitoring Udinese defender Oumar Soulet. According to sources, Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Tottenham have watched the 25-year-old play. Manchester United and West Ham are also considered to have a long-term interest in the Frenchman, who has been with the Italian team since joining from Red Bull Salzburg last January. Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Roma are also interested in the defender. Crystal Palace's interest in a new centre-back is established because Marc Guehi is considered very likely to leave Selhurst Park, possibly in January or when his contract ends at the season's conclusion.
