Udinese’s Oumar Solet tops Inter Milan’s shortlist of targets to replace Benjamin Pavard, whilst Sevilla’s Loic Bade is also an option.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Frenchman would cost €25 million, but Inter would only want to sign him on loan initially.

Inter Milan are still thinking about signing a defender before the transfer window.

The Nerazzurri have missed out on one big target in the form of Koni De Winter. The Belgian has joined AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Parma’s Giovanni Leoni will join Liverpool.

However, there are other options for Inter to consider.

And particularly if Inter were to sell Benjamin Pavard, they will certainly sign a replacement. The former Bayern Munich defender is a target for Galatasaray.

One defender who Inter have been targeting for some time is Udinese’s Oumar Solet.

The Frenchman had already convinced the Nerazzurri with his performances in his first few months in Serie A after joining Udinese last January.

However, the Gazzetta note, Solet is under investigation for sexual assault in Udine. Therefore, Inter would want to sign him on loan with a purchase option, pending the outcome of that case.

The eventual fee for Solet would be around €20-25 million, the newspaper anticipate.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta report, Sevilla defender Loic Bade is also a target for Inter.
