"It's 99.9 percent certain, we just have to wait for him to arrive on Friday and sign," Garcia told the club's website.

The 32-year-old Solari, pictured left, has been at San Lorenzo since returning to Argentina last year.

He made his first division debut with River Plate in 1996 before moving to Atletico Madrid two years later.
