Juventus are stepping up their efforts to sign Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet, with negotiations between the two Serie A clubs gathering momentum in recent days.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Bianconeri have made the French defender one of their top priorities after their pursuit of another defensive target slowed significantly.

The Turin giants are eager to strengthen their backline ahead of the new season and believe Solet has the qualities needed to add both physicality and reliability to the squad.

The 25-year-old has impressed with his performances and is now viewed as a leading candidate to reinforce Juventus’ defence.

Juventus Consider Player Exchange to Reduce Solet Fee

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, discussions between Juventus and Udinese have become increasingly frequent, with both clubs exploring different formulas that could help complete the deal.

Udinese are believed to value Solet at no less than €25 million, a figure Juventus are hoping to lower by including players in the negotiations.

Among the names being considered is Vasilije Adzic, the highly rated Montenegrin midfielder born in 2006, who is admired by Udinese and could represent an attractive addition for the Friulian club. His inclusion could significantly reduce the cash portion of the transfer.

Another player Juventus may offer is Colombian defender Juan Cabal, who is reportedly available for transfer.

However, his involvement remains uncertain after he previously rejected a move to Genoa, raising questions over whether he would be willing to accept a switch to Udinese.

Talks Continue as Agreement Remains Possible

Despite the remaining obstacles, optimism has not disappeared. Juventus remain determined to find common ground with Udinese, and negotiations are expected to continue over the coming days as both clubs work towards a compromise.

While no agreement has been reached yet, the ongoing dialogue suggests the transfer is very much alive.

Should Juventus succeed in finding the right financial formula, Solet could become one of the club’s key defensive additions before the transfer window closes, providing a significant boost to their plans for the upcoming campaign.
