Matías Soulé, the 22-year-old Argentine footballer currently playing for Roma in Italy, recently touched hearts with a gesture towards his parents that spread like wildfire on social media. The young forward surprised his parents by gifting them a new house and capturing their emotional reactions in two videos that are truly tear-jerking.
Originally from Mar del Plata, Soulé took advantage of the break in European leagues to visit his family in Argentina after performing well with Roma alongside fellow Argentinians Leandro Paredes and Paulo Dybala, scoring five goals during the season. However, it was his off-field move that truly scored big with his family.
In one of the videos shared by his father, Néstor Soulé, we witness the heartwarming moment when Matías and his parents explore the interior of a house. As they walk around opening doors and taking in the space, Matías pops the question: “Did you like the house?
” His mother, Virginia Malvano, responds emotionally, “
Very nice.
” Then comes the bombshell reveal from Matías: “
I gave it to you,
” leaving Virginia stunned as she exclaims, “
You’re crazy, Matías.”
The second video captures another heartfelt moment as they share hugs after Matías confirms that the house is indeed theirs. His choked-up voice resonates as he declares his love for them while Virginia continues to express her disbelief at her son’s incredible gift. In the background, applause erupts from extended family members witnessing this touching exchange.
Néstor later took to Instagram to express gratitude towards his son for this grand gesture: “It wasn’t necessary but thank you from my heart. We were already happy seeing you enjoy what you love since you were little – playing soccer and thriving both professionally and personally.”
Soulé’s journey started at Argentinos del Sud in Mar del Plata before moving through Kimberley and Velez’s youth system in Buenos Aires. A pivotal point came when Juventus showed interest at 16 years old leading to him joining them in Italy at 18 before making waves in Serie A with Frosinone and later securing a move to Roma for €30 million.
On-field success has followed Soulé with notable performances for Roma including key goals securing Europa League qualification. He also represented Argentina at youth levels including featuring in a World Cup Sub-20 tournament held domestically and receiving call-ups for senior national team qualifiers towards 2026 despite limited playing time.
While accolades continue to pour in for Soulé’s prowess on the pitch with Roma fans reveling in his impact against top Italian sides like Inter Milan and Lazio; it is perhaps this deeply personal off-field gesture towards family that truly cements him as a star both on and off the field.
