19-year-old left back Julio Soler is to head to Bournemouth ahead of a reported $ 15 million move from Lanús.

As reported by Argentine sports journalist Uriel Iugt and Sky Sports’ Mark McAdam, Soler will head to Dorset today ahead of the move from the Primera División club.

He will reportedly sign a four-year deal with the south coast club.

Soler has made 58 senior appearances since making his Lanús debut in 2022, and he played 43 times for the club in the 2023/2024 season.

Born in Paraguay, Soler represents the Argentina youth teams and represented the country at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, playing four times and notching one assist.

He started each of the three group games for the South American nation before coming off the bench in the quarter-final defeat to hosts France.

Soler has also been called up to the senior team, although it is yet to make an appearance, named on the bench for the World Cup Qualifiers against Bolivia and Venezuela.

He captained the Argentina U20 side before being called up for the U23s squad, playing once against Paraguay in June.

The teen is a product of the Lanús youth system, having joined the club aged nine.
