São Paulo tracking ‘Colombian Marcos Antônio’ at Crespo’s request | OneFootball

As if the number of central midfielders in São Paulo's team wasn't enough, the club seems to be in the market looking for another option for the position.

The Colombian press started reporting throughout this Monday (6) that the Tricolor is inquiring about the situation of Jhon Solís, a 21-year-old revelation from the country.

According to information from Pipe Sierra, a journalist from the neighboring country, Solís's name was suggested by coach Hernán Crespo.

To AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, sources from São Paulo's management do not confirm the information, although they acknowledge that the young Colombian's name has been monitored by their analysis department.

If we can compare Solís to any player to give you an idea of how he plays, it would be Marcos Antônio. Like the Tricolor's 'little engine', the Colombian is a typical modern football midfielder. He has enough speed to return and help with defensive recovery, cover both sides of the field, but with the ball, he stands out for his ability to articulate, break lines, and organize the attack by distributing the play.

The gem is a product of Atlético Nacional's youth academy. It took just one year as a professional for him to be sold to Girona, Spain, for 6 million euros (about R$ 38 million) in 2023.

According to the Spanish press, despite the 14 games played for Girona this season and being in Europe for three years, Solís has been facing adaptation problems on the Old Continent, which has led to considering the possibility of a loan. His contract runs until June 2028.

Whether the Tricolor is negotiating or not, there is a big obstacle ahead. If you paid attention, you saw that he is from Girona. In other words, it's a club from the City Group. And despite the information about São Paulo's interest, in Spain, there is talk of loaning him, but to Bahia, the Brazilian club of the Arab conglomerate. So, it's hard to think they would agree to loan him to Morumbi with the 'same family' team qualified for the Copa Libertadores. But dreaming doesn't cost anything.
