French outfit Marseille, Anderlecht in Belgium, and Inter Milan are also circling.

In a statement, Red Bull Salzburg said: “FC Red Bull Salzburg and Oumar Solet have parted ways. The 24-year-old Frenchman's contract, which still had a year to run, has been terminated early by mutual agreement.

“The center-back joined our Red Bulls at the start of the 2020/21 season from Olympique Lyon. Over his four seasons in Salzburg, Oumar Solet made a total of 106 appearances (with four goals and five assists) - winning three league titles and an Austrian cup.

“We wish Oumar Solet all the best for his future!”
