According to multiple sources, negotiations are underway regarding Julio Cesar Soler, with Watford keen to finalise a deal with Bournemouth as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The defender has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. Watford have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Ajax are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. With only 29 goals conceded in 25 (1.16 per game), Watford have been one of the stronger defences in the Championship this season.. Julio Cesar Soler would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Reports suggest Bournemouth are monitoring Othmane Maamma, Issahaku Abdul Fatawu and Tarik Muharemovic whereas Watford have not been associated with other players at this stage.
