After the defeat against Godoy Cruz in the first post-elimination match of Libertadores, River kept moving in the market, near the close of the transfer book. And in addition to the Colombian Miguel Borja, the one who would arrive to reinforce the attack of Marcelo Gallardo’s team is Pablo Solari, a 21-year-old striker who plays for Colo Colo in Chile. It would arrive in exchange for 4,200,000 dollars for 60% of the pass. This player has already faced Millo in the group stage of this edition of the Libertadores.

A little more about Solari
Argentine born in Arizona, San Luis, from a soccer family, his father named him after Aimar. He is a Chelsea fan, his idol is Messi and he admires Neymar. He is quite shy, short-answered at press conferences, hardly speaking on the pitch. He is to grant few notes. He always admitted that he has the illusion of playing in Europe, although now Marcelo Gallardo is waiting for him…

There is a reality that can be positive in what his adaptation process to River would be: He arrived in Colo Colo, a great Chile, without experience in a First Division team, on loan from Talleres de Córdoba, in 2019, after a management by Marcelo Espina, who was the club’s sports manager. And immediately he joined the Cacique team, under the command of coach Gustavo Quinteros.
In Colo Colo he accumulates 12 goals and 7 assists in 64 official matches. And a fact: during the Copa Libertadores, a statistic placed him as the player with the most dribbling during the group stage.
