Oumar Solet, a defender, was a significant acquisition for Udinese. Gigi De Canio, the former Udinese coach, highlighted Solet's performance against Napoli and noted that Napoli, which has been on the lookout for a defender since the start of the season, overlooked Solet even though he was available on a free transfer. De Canio emphasized that while economic factors hold importance, a player's decision is also influenced by the club's project, stability, and growth prospects. He suggested that Napoli might have been more attentive in the market.
