Napoli are again weighing up a move for Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet. Football Italia, citing TuttoMercatoWeb, said any deal for the defender looks more likely next summer than in January.
Solet remains on Napoli's radar
Football Italia, citing TuttoMercatoWeb, said Napoli have kept Solet on their radar after considering him during the last transfer window. Football Italia, citing TuttoMercatoWeb, said talks stalled during the last transfer window because Udinese's asking price was too high.
January priorities elsewhere
Defence is not Napoli's main concern for January. Napoli want at least one midfielder and a striker. Udinese are a familiar trading partner for the Partenopei, however, and Football Italia said a defensive rebuild could follow at the end of the season.
Midfield and attack targets
Napoli's list of midfield targets includes Lassana Coulibaly, Zorgane, Cagliari's Alessandro Romano, Bergwall and Aranda. Romano is owned by Roma, but Cagliari can buy him for €5m.
In attack, Monza striker Gustavo Varela is the most concrete option, but the Brianzoli do not want to sell. Varela faced Napoli.
Solet's current situation
Football Italia, citing TuttoMercatoWeb, said Inter dropped their interest in Solet for the same reason and signed John Stones instead. Solet is sidelined with a leg problem and missed the defeat to Milan and the trip to Parma.
