Liverpool have reportedly decided not to move forward with signing free agent Oumar Solet, who is now set to join Series A side Udinese in January.

The 24-year-old French defender, who recently parted ways with Red Bull Salzburg after his contract expired, had been linked with a potential switch to Anfield as a replacement for Joel Matip.

Matip left Liverpool at the end of last season after a distinguished seven-year spell with the club.



Matip saw his final campaigns marred by injuries.

The towering centre-back played a pivotal role during Jurgen Klopp’s successful reign, contributing to the Reds’ Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup victories.

His departure sparked rumors that Liverpool would be in the market for a new defender, with Solet emerging as a potential option.

Further, Liverpool were reportedly considering him as an addition to their defensive line-up.

However, according to recent reports, the Reds have now opted against pursuing Solet.

As Ibrahima Konate, who scored the opening goal, made a crucial mistake that allowed Wolves to equalise.

Speaking after the game, Liverpool boss Arne Slot acknowledged the costly error, saying,

“It came at a bad time because we had total control over the game.

By conceding this way, they came back into the game and the good thing for us, is we immediately scored to make it 2-1.

With only one goal making the difference, it makes it a difficult game until the end.”

Despite the defensive lapse, Liverpool managed to secure a 2-1 victory.
