The 20-year-old arrived at the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) in January, starting in the FA Cup against West Brom in his first week at the club, before heading straight off on international duty.
He helped Argentina U20s qualify for the 2025 U20 World Cup in finishing as runners-up at the South American U20s Championships, before returning to Bournemouth at the end of February.
Soler is yet to make another appearance for Bournemouth, having been named on the bench in the league games vs Wolves, Brighton and Spurs, as well as the cup match against Wolves.

“He was more than one month with the Argentina under 20s, he played a lot of games, he did very well. Now he has come back, straight away without any rest and I think he's doing well.
“He has the language barrier that he has to solve because he doesn't speak English.
“With me it’s no problem. But especially with the teammates, I think he definitely needs to learn.
“But I think for someone that is so young, I like his attitude. He's ready to help whenever we need him and I think he's one more fighting for positions like all the others.”
There are two senior left backs at the Cherries, with Milos Kerkez, one of the standouts of the Cherries season, ahead of Soler.

_(Image: Richard Crease)_ The boss said the pair are different players, though: “I think Milos’s progression from past season to this one has been huge for me, especially mentally, the way he approaches the games, his reliability, how he finishes the games.
“So I think there is a process every player that comes to the Premier League has to go through.
“And for sure, Julio has to do his own.”
Clarifying the differences between the two, Iraola said: “The characteristics, the skills.
“I think probably Milos is a more physical player. Physically he's elite and he's up and down and full of energy and sometimes you have to slow him down a little bit.
“Julio is different. I think technically he's a lovely player on the ball. He has very good deliveries, understands the position very well.
“Probably our demands with him or the challenges for him in the competitions will be the physicality of the league.
“He comes from a very different league. And to adapt to the Premier League, he will have to strengthen himself, but you only this with minutes.”
