Manchester United have signed Matheus Cunha, and a new defender could follow the Brazilian to Old Trafford.
The South American has completed his £62.5m move to Manchester United in a deal which should significantly improve the attack for Ruben Amorim – the Brazil international scored 15 goals in 33 Premier League appearances last season.
Oumar Solet expected to be sold ‘in a short time’ after Manchester United talks
Messaggero Veneto recently stated that Manchester United have been in talks to sign the Frenchman.
The Italian news outlet claimed that Udinese value Solet – who Bournemouth also like after losing Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid – at €40m (£34m).
Now, Pasqualin – a respected agent – has told the same outlet he expects Udinese to sell the man from Melun relatively quickly this summer, saying: “I would say yes, even if they (the owners) have never sold in a hurry. Haste, in this case, could make potential buyers procrastinate, influencing the negotiations, so I believe that the objective (a sale) will be achieved, even if not easily and in a short time.”
Solet – aged 25 – helped Udinese finish 12th in Serie A last season, scoring one goal and providing two assists in 19 appearances.
