They know the attacking footballer very well.
Solari is awaiting a transfer to RPL
Like Barco, Pablo Solari is not considered ready to play for Inter or Atlético Madrid. Players like River Plate’s 23-year-old Argentine are vital options for scouts RPL. As there are many refusals, the circle of strong talents shrinks. Krasnodar has been negotiating with Solari for a long time, as confirmed by Argentine journalists and the player’s agent. But the right striker, who appeared left and center in the attack, was previously unavailable to the “citizens” due to the price.
Representatives of River Plate demanded 25 million euros for the footballer. Crazy value when the market values the player at 7 million. Even when Spartak learned that he would give a reduction of up to 15 million euros, they refused Solari. And Krasnodar needs strong wingers, this is one of Musaev’s problem positions. Although thirty-year-old Brazilian Victor Sa was useful in some matches, even the experienced player lacks class. And Butchi, Moses and Olusegun are not stronger than Sa.
Now Krasnodar is twice lucky. For starters, Solari didn’t make a breakthrough. River Plate were champions in 2023, but have now fallen back down the table. They also failed to reach the Copa Libertadores final. Gallardo returned from Saudi Arabia, but so did Solari. Barcelona didn’t believe the coach, but Pablo could be released to Krasnodar. After all, there is a second reason for this agreement. Colombian defensive midfielder Castaño, despite being an expensive newcomer for the Citizens, has not gained a foothold in the Krasnodar team.
Kevin does not hesitate to try his hand at being one of the legendary “millionaires”. River Plate will not lose if Krasnodar pays 15 million euros, but will include Castaño in the deal. Since there are Chernikov and Lenini, there will be enough people in the support zone. Especially since Spertsyan is in no hurry to leave Krasnodar in winter and could stay for the championship tours at his native club. Castaño is too strong to be on the bench. The time spent in the reserves hurts the Colombian, because Kevin wants to play for the national team.
Pablo is a raw and gifted footballer
Nine goals and three assists in 32 matches in the Argentine championship have allowed Solari to interest clubs RPL. And when the agent says representatives can come nuclear submarinethat is to say, doubts. If Pablo had been considered ready to play in the elite leagues, then Spartak and Krasnodar would have received a categorical refusal. Solari will not abandon the fate of Barco, who after River Plate flourished at Spartak. Now, Ezequiel is definitely interested in top 5 teams. In six months, I progressed and caught the attention of scouts.
Solari waits his turn. He comes from a family of footballers. Dad Victor has not become an outstanding master, and three brothers – Santiago, Mateo and Juan, also play football. They are unlikely to be related to former River Plate and Real Madrid player Santiago Solari. The new Solaris come from central Argentina. Pablo played for Chilean club Colo-Colo, then moved to River Plate. In Buenos Aires he showed dedication. They write that he played in the center of defense several times, but the measure was forced. He’s a winger.
The right-handed Solari scores obvious goals, which are numerous in the Argentine championship. But we understand why Pablo is not valued at 50 million euros. Solari wastes time turning around when receiving the ball, even if he plays with his right foot on the right flank. He has positional sense on the wing-half, but analysts note problems with high serves. And Musaev needs a player who can hit the ball into the head of the best footballer of the first part of the season in Krasnodar, John Cordoba.
Sometimes Solari falls and rarely sees the ball. But it is technical, and quickly breaks with sports equipment. Will be useful in Krasnodar during a clean attack in space. But what about decisions under pressure and when the opponent’s blocking is weak? It is also not a fact that Pablo ideally presses high, as the City people like him. We must increase our aggression. While Solari is at a crossroads. It will go in the right direction – it will develop towards Alvarez. If he takes a wrong turn, there will be an analogue of the former Zenit player Rigoni.
Musaev urgently needs cool wingers
The draws at the start of the season show that Krasnodar often lacked accurate shooting. The end-of-year failures remind us why the Citizens did not become champions last spring. Musaev needs qualified newcomers. If it is difficult to attract mature masters to a team with Cordoba and Spertsyan, because many will be intercepted by clubs from Moscow and Zenit, then you need to look for someone who is undervalued. You will have to overpay for Solari, but here the bet is in the style of Ugalde and Barco, who became the leaders of Spartak.
Krasnodar head coach can work with Krivtsov and Kozlov in the winter if they do not ask for a loan. Smolov must pull himself together to provide Cordoba with substitute appearances. Or become John’s partner when you need to put pressure on the opponent in 4-4-2 late in the game. But guys like Solari, in a good mood, can immediately bring benefits to RPL. Last season, Garre, another Argentine striker, scored 9 goals and made 3 assists for Krylia Sovetov.
Solari has similar statistics in Argentina, except he has played more matches. Garre has not been able to stay at the top of his form. They also doubt Pablo. But if they have been leading for a long time, they know very well not only the features of football. A guy from a family of wingers. All four brothers can play on the right wing in attack. Solari could benefit Krasnodar. Sait Barko to talk about style RPL. Kranevitter, a former Zenit midfielder, plays for River Plate. Solari is well aware of all the pitfalls.
I really wanted to reach the Spanish or English championship. But for now, the guy has enough drawbacks that Krasnodar is lucky. We remember the hopes that the club placed on Castaño. They thought that the Colombian could become a factor in the championship. They miscalculated, Kevin is not mentally ready to be the leader of the “city dwellers”. At first glance, he is a good fan. But it happens that the style of the championship and the footballer do not coincide at all. But Solari is a classic winger, it is easier for him. If he opens up in Krasnodar, he will go further.
