Oumar Solet, who had been targeted by PAOK a few days ago, is now a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Red Bull Salzburg. PAOK had attempted to acquire Solet before signing Dejan Lovren, but Solet did not respond to their offer within the given deadline.

PAOK showed interest in Oumar Solet but decided to abandon the pursuit due to the player's reluctance to move to Greece and his extensive injury history.

Oumar Solet's name emerged as PAOK's attempt to fill the gap in the center-back position. The 24-year-old French central defender is looking for a way to leave Red Bull Salzburg, and PAOK is trying to convince him to join for a one-year collaboration. Solet's agent has been in Thessaloniki since yesterday and is in open communication with him, but Solet remains reluctant to leave the Austrian team for Greece, even though he knows he is considered an 'outsider' by Salzburg. On Wednesday afternoon, Solet attended Red Bull Salzburg's training session, indicating that the situation is turning negative for PAOK.

PAOK is attempting to acquire Oumar Solet at the end of the transfer window to strengthen their central defense. The agent of the player is in Thessaloniki for negotiations. PAOK is pushing for a free transfer as Salzburg does not consider Solet in their plans but is hesitant to renew his contract for a loan move.
