JUST IN: Forest receives MASSIVE summer transfer positive response as South American Young talent edges close to City Ground move.
Nottingham Forest continues to aggressively pursue top South American talent. Following last summer’s acquisition of Murillo and the recent signing of 6’8″ goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians, the club has now set its sights on Ramon Sosa.
Reports from Paraguay’s Versus indicate that negotiations between Forest and Sosa are progressing, with discussions focusing on the transfer fee and potential add-ons for Talleres, Sosa’s current club. The talks have reportedly reached such an advanced stage that Talleres has decided to exclude Sosa from matches until the situation is resolved.
The 24-year-old Paraguay international had an impressive 2023/24 season, scoring seven goals and providing six assists. His performances helped Talleres qualify for the Copa Libertadores, where they’re set to face River Plate in an upcoming match.
Sosa, primarily a left-winger, could prove to be a valuable addition for Forest. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo has expressed his desire to strengthen the wing position, and Sosa fits the bill. While the player had previously been linked with Chelsea, Forest appears to have taken the initiative in securing his services.
As with any player new to the Premier League, Sosa would need time to adapt to the league’s style and culture. However, at 24, he has ample time to develop and could potentially become a significant asset for Forest, provided the transfer fee is reasonable.
This move aligns with Forest’s strategy of identifying promising talent from South America, following their recent signings from the region. If successful, the acquisition of Sosa could prove to be another shrewd move in the club’s ongoing recruitment efforts.
