Julio Soler, a young Argentine U23 defender, looks like he’s gonna join AFC Bournemouth. The skilled left-back from Lanus is about to sign a deal worth up to £11.5 million with add-ons included. It’s a big move for Soler as he makes the jump from Argentina’s Primera Division to the Premier League.
- The first payment for Soler is £6.6 million but it could go up to £11.5 million if he plays good.
- Soler played 58 times for Lanus since 2022.
- He’s gonna have a medical check soon as part of the deal.
The Current Left-Back Scenario at Bournemouth
Right now Bournemouth has Milos Kerkez as their left-back, he’s Hungarian and played 21 times for his country. Kerkez came to Bournemouth in 2023 and became really important for the team. Manager Andoni Iraola wants to make the team stronger while keeping players like Kerkez around. Iraola likes to play 4-2-3-1, and he’ll need to figure out how to fit Soler into the way the team plays.
