Just four days ago, Birmingham City was reportedly ahead of Tigres UANL in the race for Solís. Initial expectations indicated that the player would complete a permanent transfer for approximately €4-5 million. However, new insights reveal that the agreement is structured as a loan with a conditional obligation to buy.
Transfer Details
- Loan move with obligation to buy for €8 million
- Player must make 11 league appearances for the transfer to be finalized
Girona is anticipating Solís’ arrival, as it will free up a non-EU slot needed to register Claudio Echeverri, an Argentine midfielder from Manchester City. Girona’s manager, Míchel, has publicly confirmed that Solís’ transfer is effectively settled, labeling it a “done deal.”
Medical Examination Scheduled
According to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, Solís is scheduled for a medical examination with Birmingham City. This appointment is critical for him to finalize his move. The young midfielder has already secured the necessary work permit for his relocation to the UK.
- Medical examination set for Friday
- Solís needs to clear medical tests to complete the signing
Having joined Girona from Atlético Nacional in September 2023, Solís is yet to make his senior international debut. However, many believe this will not hinder his prospects at Birmingham City. This season, he has accumulated 374 minutes across 12 La Liga matches, and he hopes to gain more playing time under Chris Davies’ guidance.
