Torino target Salzburg centre-back Oumar Solet

According to Ignazio Genuardi Torino are targeting former Lyon and Stade Lavallois man Oumar Solet (22) – whose current contract at Red Bull Salzburg runs until 2025. 

Solet left Lyon in 2020 to join the Red Bull side, where he has won the Austrian Bundesliga on two occasions, completing the double with the Austrian cup last season – in which he made 33 appearances as a regular starter at 22 years old.

Last season also gave Solet the chance to play in the Champions League, where he featured  in a tough group which included games against Sevilla, Wolfsburg, Lille and German giants Bayern Munich. 

At international level the centre-back has appeared 12 times for France’s U20 side, but only twice for the U20 team. At Laval Solet made 15 appearances in the National 1, and after a move to Lyon made 37 appearances in total for Les Gones’ B team, only appearing four times for the senior side.
