Argentine forward Matías Soulé has announced the birth of his first child, Bautista, while currently stationed in Buenos Aires for the national team’s training camp. The 23-year-old Roma attacker shared the news through a joint social media post with his partner, Milagros Sosa, featuring the first images of the newborn.
A Personal Milestone During National Team Duty
The announcement arrived this week as Soulé prepares for the upcoming FIFA international window, which runs from September 21 to October 6, 2026. In the post, the couple shared a photograph of the player holding his son, accompanied by the message: “Bautista Soulé. Welcome, love of our lives, you don’t know how much we love you.”
The news drew immediate responses from across the football community. Roma teammate Paulo Dybala was among the first to offer congratulations, noting his excitement to meet the child, while Camila Galante, wife of Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes, also sent her well wishes to the couple. The official social media account for Roma acknowledged the birth with a celebratory heart emoji.
Professional Trajectory and National Team Commitment
Soulé, a native of Mar del Plata, remains with the Argentina squad in Buenos Aires as they conduct training sessions ahead of three scheduled friendly matches. The national team’s upcoming itinerary includes fixtures against Bolivia, Burkina Faso, and Benín. The match against Benín is particularly notable as it is set to mark Lionel Messi’s final appearance in the Argentina jersey.
The forward’s career has seen a rapid ascent since his early days in the youth systems of Argentinos del Sud and Kimberley. After a stint in the youth ranks at Vélez Sarsfield, he moved to Juventus at age 15. He has since established himself as a prominent figure in Serie A, securing a move to Roma in 2024. In the current season, Soulé has recorded two goals and one assist in six appearances for the Italian club. Since joining the capital side, he has totaled 87 appearances with 14 goals and 14 assists.
Media Coverage and Continued Training
The birth has received significant attention in Italian sports media, with outlets including Corriere dello Sport, Forza Roma, and Il Romanista reporting on the images released by the couple. Despite the public interest, Soulé has not provided further commentary, focusing instead on his training obligations under manager Lionel Scaloni. He remains available for the squad as they prepare for the first match of the upcoming international series.
