Roma have approached Salzburg for defender Oumar Solet.

Following Roger Ibanez’s imminent transfer to Al-Ahli, Roma are scouting across the continent for a potential replacement of the Brazilian centreback.

Thus, the club’s latest idea is reportedly Oumar Solet – 23-year-old centre-back who plays for Salzburg and faced Roma in last season’s Europa League playoffs.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, Roma have contacted Salzburg and inquired about Solet’s availability.

The Giallorossi want to propose a loan deal for the young defender.
