Report: Solet “prioritises Inter” amid wider interest — and Pavard set to return with a point to prove

Inter’s defensive planning is starting to take shape in the rumour mill, with Oumar Solet and Benjamin Pavard both featuring in recent reports — one as a potential incoming reinforcement, the other as a returning name who could be playing for his Inter future.

Solet: Inter said to be the priority, but the market is crowded

One report claims Solet has made Inter his priority and is prepared to wait, despite interest from other leagues (Sportitalia)

That lines up with the broader picture: Solet has been repeatedly linked with clubs outside Italy as well, including Premier League attention. Udinese, meanwhile, are reported to have placed a clear valuation on the defender, €25m plus bonuses, which sets the baseline for any serious negotiation this summer.

Pavard: expected back at Inter — and his place won’t be guaranteed

On the outgoing/returning side, reports from France indicate Marseille do not plan to trigger their purchase option, meaning Pavard is set to return to Inter at the end of the season.

What happens next is the key question: a return doesn’t automatically mean reintegration, but it does open the door to a “reset” summer, a chance for Pavard to re-establish himself and fight for a place, depending on Chivu’s plans and the club’s wider defensive rebuild.

ForzaIM.com fans: if Inter can bring in Solet at Udinese’s asking price, do you see him as a rotation piece or a starter-in-waiting? And if Pavard comes back, would you give him another shot or move on immediately?
