Media reports of interest from Liverpool for Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez are heating up. With Andy Robertson entering his 30s, combined with a busy schedule, performances have been intense this season.
With reserve Kostas Tsimikas also aged 28, the average age of left-backs is increasing. With the Hungarian defender being eyed as a long-term successor, interest in Argentina U-23 defender Julio Soler, who is a member of Lanús, has been reported in the past.
According to El Crack Deportivo, the country’s powerhouse club, River Plate, are also interested in the young Argentine left-back, and could make a move for him along with Manchester United, who are also interested, as are the Reds.
Despite being just 19 years old, he has been a mainstay at the club. He has already made 55 first-team appearances and represented his country at the Paris Olympics this summer. He started every game in the group stages.
The next generation of side-backs, who are gaining recognition not only in South America but also in Europe, is about to make the step up, but will it be a domestic move or a move across the ocean?
