Bournemouth have reached an agreement to sign defender Julio Soler from Argentine club Lanus for an initial fee of approximately £6.6m.

The 19-year-old has made 58 appearances for Lanus since his debut in 2022.

The Cherries are aiming to complete the transfer in the coming days, with the deal potentially rising to around £11.5m if all add-on clauses are fulfilled.

Born in Paraguay, Soler, a left-back who has represented Argentina at youth level, is expected to arrive in the UK on Monday to finalize the transfer.

Bournemouth’s 1-0 victory over Everton at Vitality Stadium on Saturday secured their seventh-place position in the Premier League.
