Matías Soulé left the Argentina national team’s training camp in Ezeiza to attend the birth of his first child, Bautista, alongside his partner Milagros Sosa. The AS Roma forward stepped away from preparations for upcoming international friendlies under head coach Lionel Scaloni to welcome his newborn son at a medical center in Buenos Aires.
Birth Announcement and Family Milestones
The couple shared the news of their son’s arrival through a joint social media post featuring photographs from the healthcare facility, including a picture taken inside the delivery room. “Bautista Soulé. Welcome, love of our lives, you don’t know how much we love you,” the parents wrote in their announcement. The post drew immediate public responses from figures across European and South American football, including AS Roma teammate Paulo Dybala, who commented on social media expressing his excitement to meet the newborn. Additional congratulations came from Camila Galante, wife of Leandro Paredes, alongside official acknowledgments from the Italian club and extensive coverage across Italian sports media outlets such as Corriere dello Sport, Forza Roma, and Il Romanista.
National Team Context and Upcoming Fixtures
Soulé had been participating normally in training sessions at the Argentine Football Association (AFA) complex in Ezeiza prior to the birth. The 23-year-old forward was included in Lionel Scaloni’s squad for the FIFA international window running from September 21 to October 6, which features three friendly matches against Bolivia, Burkina Faso, and Benín. The latter fixture holds particular significance as the farewell match for captain Lionel Messi in the albiceleste jersey.
Club Career Progress in Serie A
Born in Mar del Plata, Soulé developed through the youth systems of Argentinos del Sud, Kimberley, and Vélez Sarsfield before moving to Juventus at age 15. He established himself in Italian football before securing a permanent transfer to AS Roma in mid-2024. Across his appearances for the Giallorossi, the left-footed winger has accumulated significant playing time in Serie A, contributing consistently in attack alongside fellow Argentine internationals. Following his brief absence from the training base to welcome his son, Soulé is set to rejoin Scaloni’s squad as preparations continue for the upcoming fixture schedule.
