Florencia Soledad "Sole" Jaimes (born 20 January 1989) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Brazilian club Santos and the Argentina national team.[2]

Club career

Jaimes with Flamengo in 2023

Jaimes played for Boca Juniors and River Plate in her home country[3] before moving to Brazil in 2014, with Foz Cataratas.[4] In 2015, after a brief period at São Paulo, she joined Santos.

Initially a backup option, Jaimes became a regular starter in the 2016 season, and impressed with 18 goals in the 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1, being the top goalscorer of the competition. This led to a move to Chinese side Dalian Quanjian,[5] where she stayed for a year before joining Lyon.[6]

On 11 July 2019, Jaimes returned to Santos on a contract until the end of the year.[7] She then moved back to China for the 2020 campaign with Changchun Zhuoyue.

On 21 May 2021, Jaimes returned to Santos for a third spell after agreeing to a three-month loan deal.[8] She moved to Napoli in September,[9] before returning to Brazil with Flamengo on 1 July 2022.[10]

On 5 June 2024, days after leaving Fla, Jaimes returned to Santos on a contract until December 2025.[11]

International career

Jaimes represented Argentina at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[12] At senior level, she played two Copa América Femenina editions (2014 and 2018), scoring five goals in the latter,[13] and the 2015 Pan American Games.[note 1]

Personal life

Jaimes has a relationship with Canadian-born Italian footballer Kelly Chiavaro.[15] The pair met in Italy where they both played soccer for Napoli. In September 2023, the couple announced they were expecting a baby girl in February 2024.[16]
