Cristian Chivu and Inter have a few transfer targets, and Solet seems to be one of them. The 25-year-old joined Udinese last summer and appeared 19 times in the Serie A.  Operating as a centre-back, he scored once and assisted twice. On the other hand, Kinkoue is a favourite candidate to join Udinese, and discussions have already started to acquire his services. Kinkoue currently represents Le Havre in Ligue 1 and recorded 28 appearances for them in Ligue 1 last term.
