Oumar Solet has grown up well. In January 2018, the young man, then aged 17, was loaned by Laval to Olympique Lyonnais. A club where the versatile defender learned and progressed alongside Nabil Fekir or Memphis Depay as he admitted to us in an interview a few weeks ago. The opportunity also for the player, who has flourished with Salzburg since 2020, to tell us a little about his future and his desires.
“I came here because I know where Salzburg can take me, what the club can give me. It’s important to know this before signing for a club. Salzburg can take me to the very highest level and very quickly. I value that a lot. I came here because I want to play at a high level, for big teams to see me and appreciate me. I hope to gain something positive from my time here. I’ve had some great years here and I think I deserve to take a step forward now.”
Solet heads to Naples
He later added: “I’m 23 years old and I’m at a point in my career where I feel like I need to take the next step. No matter where it will be, I need to get through this. I have big ambitions and I want to be one of the best players one day. So it takes work, determination. I hope that I can realize my dreams, in particular that of playing in the biggest European teams. A message that was heard on the Italian side.
According to our information, Naples is very interested in Solet’s profile. A versatile player, author of 13 matches in all competitions (1 goal). Despite an injury which has kept him away from the field since November, the 23-year-old footballer has won over the Partenopei. Moreover, they have already reached an agreement with Salzburg for the transfer of Oumar Solet. But the parties have yet to find a financial agreement. After a great experience in Austria, the player born in 2000 will be able to take a step forward within a major Italian club.
