Augusto Solari

Augusto Jorge Mateo Solari (born 3 January 1992) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Unión Santa Fe as a right winger.

Career Born in Rosario, Solari began his career at River Plate and was a member of the sides that won the 2013–14 Primera División, 2014 Copa Sudamericana and 2015 Copa Libertadores titles, among others. He scored his only goal for La Banda on 29 March 2015 in a 3–2 win at Gimnasia.

At the end of 2015, Solari was loaned for a year to Nelson Vivas' Estudiantes. In February 2017, this agreement was extended for a further year. On 25 May, he scored the only goal of a home win over Botafogo in the Copa Libertadores group stage, though the team did not advance.

In July 2017, Solari transferred to Racing Club on a four-year deal, after being removed from Marcelo Gallardo's plans. The following 6 May, on his return to Estudiantes, he was sent off after 39 minutes of a 2–1 win. He added another league title to his tally in 2018–19; he contributed a career-best five goals to their campaign.

On 23 January 2021, Solari joined La Liga club Celta on a 2-year deal. He was signed by his former Racing manager Eduardo Coudet, for a fee of €500,000. He made his debut on 1 February in a goalless draw at Granada, replacing Nolito after an hour. His first goal concluded a 2–0 home win over Levante, nine minutes after coming on for fellow scorer Brais Méndez.

Personal life Solari comes from a footballing background — his grandfather is Jorge Solari and he is a cousin of brothers Santiago, Esteban and David.
