JUST IN:West Ham have ‘strong interest’ in signing £40m defender who’s definitely going to leave this summer

The French tabloid has reported that West Ham is now “strongly interested” in acquiring RB Salzburg defender Oumar Solet.

Numerous elite European teams, including Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan, are rumored to be interested in

Given that he only has one year remaining on his contract and that his Austrian club is unprepared to lose the 24-

year-old for free the following season, the report states that Solet will leave this summer.

After spending £4 million to join the team from Lyon in 2020, Solet—who has played for France at the under-20

level—has made significant development.

According to this information, West Ham is eager to add more center-back choices and could compete with Solet for

his services. They are prepared for the next stage.

Although Salzburg’s exact price is yet unknown, any trade would likely be a fair value for the interested clubs.

Known for his skill in the transfer market, Tim Steidten now appears to have more decision-making authority in this

new configuration.

Having said that, it appears that West Ham is now also looking for a Premier League offensive full-back.
