Although Santiago Solari’s project at the head of the Águilas del América received a boost from the board, the Argentine coach himself knows that he must reinforce the squad if he wants to give the club a new title, something that the fans ask for shouting.
In recent weeks, all player departures have been criticized, the last one being that of central defender Emanuel Aguilera, who took the reigning champion Atlas as his destination, for which the azulcrema leadership has moved shrewdly to get good players.
On this occasion the Eagles have managed to reach an agreement with Colo Colo from Chile to secure the services of Pablo Solari, an Argentine striker from 16 years with a promising future.
The negotiations have not been easy. The first offer sent by America was rejected by the Chileans, who, aware of Solari’s talent, raised the cost for his entire record; also from Mexico they wanted to include a player from the basic forces as an exchange to lower the price of the attacker, something that Colo Colo did not like either.
The second offer from Coapa was $5 million for the 80 % of Solari’s file, offer that was finally accepted. In the absence of some arrangements and legal fringes, the contract would be made official between Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The past 2021 was the year of Pablo Solari, who with Colo Colo won the Chile Cup as well as being distinguished as Best Player of the Tournament. His figures were acceptable: 48 games, 8 goals and six assists.
One of the talents of this striker is his ability to associate. He is not the typical area nine, he knows how to move outside of it, generate spaces and create danger by dragging the mark. It can fit well in what Santiago Solari asks for this Closing 2022 of Liga MX.
