AliousNottingham Forest bolstered their squad with several signings during the summer transfer window, and Paraguayan international **Ramon Sosa** was among the 11 new arrivals. While the club focused on adding quality over quantity, they made room to secure the South American winger from Argentine side **Talleres**, with high expectations for him to become a regular starter.
At **25 years old**, Sosa wasn’t seen as a long-term project but rather a player ready to make an immediate impact. However, his time at the City Ground has been frustrating. Despite showing promise, he has struggled to secure regular minutes in the Premier League during the **2024/25 season**. In fact, he didn’t even make it off the bench in Forest’s emphatic **7-0 victory over Brighton** last season.
### **Ramon Sosa’s Commitment to Forest Amid Exit Rumors**
With limited game time, speculation around Sosa’s future grew, especially during the January transfer window. According to **Versus**, Forest received a lucrative offer from an unnamed European club looking to provide Sosa with a fresh start. Despite the tempting bid, Forest left the final decision to the player—and Sosa made it clear he wanted to stay.
Sosa’s commitment speaks volumes. He’s under contract until **2029**, and even with opportunities to leave, he values his place at Forest. Interestingly, **Vasco da Gama** had shown interest in signing him during the summer, but the deal never materialized, and Sosa appears content to fight for his spot in Nottingham.
### **Can Sosa Still Shine at Forest?**
While Sosa’s appearances have been limited, he’s had moments that hint at his potential. He netted a crucial equalizer in a **2-2 draw against Brighton** back in October and played a pivotal role in Forest’s **FA Cup third-round victory over Luton**, contributing both a goal and an assist.
The stiff competition for places has undoubtedly restricted his chances. **Callum Hudson-Odoi** and **Anthony Elanga** have been the preferred wide options, with **Jota Silva** also proving to be a reliable backup. However, with more fixtures on the horizon, including an upcoming **FA Cup clash against Exeter**, Sosa could see more game time and prove his worth.
Ultimately, Forest’s decision to keep him despite January interest might pay off. Sosa has shown flashes of brilliance, and with persistence, he could still carve out a meaningful role in the squad.
