Liverpool Close in on £13m Sensation as Andy Robertson’s Potential Replacement

The summer transfer window is heating up, and Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up a potential replacement for their long-serving left-back, Andy Robertson.
Arne Slot, the Reds’ new manager, has already hinted that he may need to bolster his squad this summer, and a move for 19-year-old Argentine sensation Julio Soler could be just the ticket.
Soler has been impressing at the Olympics, where he featured for Argentina in the quarterfinals, and has already made a big impact in the Argentine Primera Division with Lanus. The club is reportedly willing to part ways with Soler for a fee of £13 million, a steal for a player of his potential.
The addition of Soler could provide a welcome boost to Liverpool’s injury-prone left-back department, with Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas often struggling with niggling injuries. The arrival of Soler could help take some of the pressure off the duo, allowing them to rest and recharge ahead of the busy Premier League campaign.
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen believes that Slot will need to hit the ground running at Anfield, and that the new manager will have to prove himself quickly. "It will be tough for him, with expectations and everything else," Owen said in a recent interview. "I think there needs to be signs of playing good football. We’ll see quite early on the style of play and how exciting it is on the eye. In the long term, you’d have to think that they have to be competitive."
