Nottingham Forest have been told how much they would have to pay to sign winger Ramon Sosa amid suggestions talks have taken place over a possible deal.
The Reds’ interest in the Paraguay international emerged earlier this week. Reports from Argentina claimed the club had been in discussions with CA Talleres regarding “the payment method and percentages of an operation”.
According to Paraguayan publication Versus, the Argentine side want at least $20 million (£15.5m) for Sosa. However, it seems they would be willing to do a deal for less if it included certain add-ons.
The 24-year-old is reportedly continuing to train with his teammates but is not seeing any game time for Talleres. It is said he is awaiting the “possible crystallisation” of a move to the City Ground.
Forest’s Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and newly-promoted Leicester City have also been linked with Sosa. The former reportedly “gave up” on trying to lure him to Molineux earlier this month.
In May, Talleres president Andres Fassi indicated the player was likely to leave this summer. After a $15m (£11.6m) offer by LA Galaxy was rejected, he said: “Ramon will surely be released in this market, he has our commitment to leave.”
It could be an exciting season ahead for Nottingham Forest as they look to push on under Nuno Espirito Santo.
After successive relegation fights since their return to the top-flight, the Reds are hoping this time around will be different. The aim for 2024/25 is to kick on in the Premier League and get higher up the table.
After two years back among the elite, the Reds are now well aware of the task in front of them and the challenges they face. And although there is no doubt this particular division takes no prisoners, there is a sense Forest are now equipped to meet the test head on.
Indeed, there is plenty of cause for optimism among Reds fans. Progress is the watchword around the City Ground at the moment, and the hope is that supporters won’t be chewing their fingernails or calculating final-day survival permutations come May.
Forest showed glimpses of what they are capable of under Nuno last term. The Portuguese also clearly had the foundations of a very good squad already in place.
