For a long time it looked as if FC Red Bull Salzburg and Oumar Solet would part ways in the summer. But since Monday it has become clear: There could be a turnaround! The 24-year-old was part of the team training on Monday.
Until recently, the fact that Oumar Solet is still wearing the Bulls jersey this season would have been considered a “miracle”. After all, the Bulls and the Frenchman agreed on a deal for the summer: if there is a buyer, the 24-year-old will leave the city of Mozart.
But that didn’t happen. Also because a transfer to TSG Hoffenheim fell through at short notice. The fact that the runners-up were no longer planning on using him was also demonstrated by the fact that Salzburg were not nominated for the Champions League squad, although they gave goalie Christian Zawieschitzky from their partner club Liefering a contract. But now a turnaround in Solet’s case seems possible!
“He has to play!”
Want some evidence? On Monday, on the Bulls’ first official training day during the international break, the defender was part of the team. The center back made a good impression. Almost as if he had never been away. In the meantime, the Frenchman had only trained at Liefering. The 24-year-old exchanged friendly glances with coach Pep Lijnders, and things got fun with Mads Bidstrup after the session ended.
Speaking of Lijnders: The Dutchman has the final say when it comes to Solet. According to a spectator who did not miss the Bulls’ training session in Taxham, the matter is clear: “I don’t even have to think about Solet. He has to play!”
