Nolberto Solano spoke directly about the opportunity he had to join Real Madrid: “I was one step away from signing for Real Madrid. After my first year at Newcastle, my agent talked to me about the option of going. He talked, everything was on track, but it didn't happen. In the end, Michael Salgado arrived in my place. It would have been a nice experience to play in the Spanish League.”

The good work at that time allowed him to dream of a good participation in the Peruvian National Team: “After the work done in the Pan American Games, Juan Carlos Oblitas and Ricardo Gareca confirmed their confidence in me. I played in a Pre-Olympic (Argentina 1996) and I know what it's like. For me it would be a very important challenge in my career.”

Solano is possibly one of the best Peruvian players in history, when he played for Boca Juniors with Diego Armando Maradona he received the nickname 'Maestrito', that's what the historic number 10 of the Argentine National Team called him. In Newcastle it was his golden era, and that is why he is well remembered by all the Peruvian fans who to this day remember his time in Europe.

Nolberto Solano had the opportunity to direct in the Premier League

Solano stated that it was difficult for him to work in Peru, that it was complicated, but that he had a proposal to lead the Newcastle under-16 team: “In Peru I am honest, I have worked in the National Team, I am a coach, but it is complicated, it is difficult . They stayed with a group of national coaches that they direct. On the other hand, our class, I'm talking about Flavio Maestri, Paul Cominges, among others, finds it difficult. You have to wait, if someone dares to make an offer, it will be time to analyze it. For now it seems that I will work with the Newcastle Sub 16, I am waiting for a response,” Solano revealed for Infobae.
