More expensive than Gallardo’s jacket: Pablo Solari’s shirt is sold for a million dollar figure at River Plate auction

Pablo Solari continues to break records at River Plate. Former Colo Colo striker, of which 20% still belong to the albos , in less than a year, he won the love of millionaire fans. This was demonstrated at a charity auction organized by the Fundación River where a large number of team items were made available to fans.

The big surprise was precisely Solari’s jersey, which was the best paid of the event. A fan paid US$2,076 ($1,661,796) for the garment he wore during the game against Instituto de Córdoba hotly contested by fans.

Among the knits available were those of Esequiel Barco, Andrés Herrera, Nacho Fernandez and Franco Armani. Precisely, that of the Kid far exceeded those of the last two, which were sold for 1,310 US$ each, a clear example of the idolatry that the player born in the Argentinian city of Arizona has aroused.

The acquisition of the jersey surpassed other notable records, according to the Olé newspaper. In fact, only the one occupied by Julián Álvarez in April 2022 was sold at a higher price than Solari (US$2,338). While, on the other hand, the old Talleres de Córdoba exceeded Marcelo Gallardo’s Jacket (US$866, as of May 2020) and Enzo Pérez’s Knit 24 (US$1,483 as of October 2021).

The charity event managed to raise nearly US$12,000, which is a significant amount of help. “Once again, our auction was a success. The profits will allow us to offer 307 monthly scholarships! @francoarmani34 @barco.ezequiel @ignaciomartinfernandez @pablosolari_ @herreraandres4 and to those who won the auction for helping us build a future with more opportunity,” the River Foundation expressed on its social media.

“He gave electricity to the game, he woke up the team. Two drive-in races that ended in bad crosses were a warning. Then he sets it almost upside down. And finally the second goal: a game he creates with a kick and ends with an assist,” TyC Sports pointed out.

While the newspaper Olé underlined the importance of its role on the ground. “He made contact with Enzo Pérez 15 minutes into the second half, hit a high header and right hand and helped Borja into the 2-0. crucial income” audience.
