Solari is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Union Santa Fe, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 11, top 80% of Liga Profesional Argentina defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.6, ranking 536th of 557 in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (20.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Solari.

Judged on this season alone, Solari graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 66 of the 66 defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.098 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 63rd of 66 of the 66 defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 34 Solari is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.6, Solari carries the 63rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 66 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
