‘The player who went to Chile as a bet and became a legend’: Argentinian press sheds light on Pablo Solari transfer to River Plate

It’s a fact: Pablo Solari will leave Colo Colo to become a new River Plate player in Argentina. As reported Jock this Monday, the cacique accepted the offer of 4 million dollars for 60 percent of their economic rights, which has aroused various reactions in Chile and in the Transandean country, where the name of Pibe is beginning to resonate loud and clear. This is how the country’s media reported the arrival of the 21-year-old footballer in the team managed by Marcelo Gallardo.

“River arranged everything with Pablo Solari, the player who went to Chile by bet and became a Colo Colo legend” , titled Clarin in his note. In it, they point out that the Argentinian is the one who converted the goal with which the albos avoided a historic decline in Chilean football: “A esta altura, Pablo César Solari ya es una leyenda con number propio del otro lado de la Cordillera (…) E que, el argentino fue el jugador clave para que el Cacique no perdiera la categoría por primera vez en sus 95 años of life” . In addition, this same medium pointed out that his name is due to an emblematic player of the blood bands club: “The most curious thing is that Solari is called Pablo César after Aimar. That’s how his father, a Millo fanatic, put it. And he also has a brother named Santiago Solari, in clear homage to the Indiecito” .

Another medium who also had notes on the Pibe’s arrival at the Monumental de River was Olé, who reported: “His dad is a fan of River (…) And we can say that he is not so far from realizing one of his greatest fantasies, which is to see one of his kids with the Red Band: Núñez they have raised a formal offer to buy Pablo César Solari, attacking midfielder or winger who plays in Colo Colo…”.

Finally, in TyC Sports, they pointed out that Solari had a small test step in the Millionaire box: “He has a past at River, his family are fans of the club and he stood out at Colo Colo (…) At only 19 years old, he scored one of the most important goals in the history of the club, against Universidad de Concepción, for promotion to avoid relegation.

El Pibe will travel today to Buenos Aires, where he will undergo rigorous examinations to sign a contract that will bind him to the team managed by Marcelo Gallardo and thus fulfill a family dream.
