Celta Vigo is currently in 9th place in La Liga, looking to try to compete for a top-half finish and avoid the relegation worries that they have dealt with over the past two seasons.
One of the winter moves that they have now made in order to achieve that goal is the signing of Argentinian midfielder Augusto Solari.
Solari joins the Sky Blues from Racing Club de Avellaneda, where his contract was set to expire this summer. Celta will reportedly pay only $550,000 for his services due largely to his expiring contract.
The cousin of former La Liga great Santiago Solari, the 29-year-old player played a key role at Racing over the past couple of seasons.
At Celta, he will be reunited with his former coach Eduardo Coudet, where he was a key piece in their memorable 2019 campaign that ended with a Superliga title.
He is expected to play as a right midfielder for Celta and will provide Coudet with an option to switch things up at the position, where Brais Mendez has played the vast majority of minutes.
Solari will begin training with his new team this week and could debut on Sunday at Granada.
