Leicester City are in talks to secure the signing of Paraguayan right winger, Ramon Sosa, from Argentinian club Talleres. The Foxes have been pursuing the talented 24-year-old for several weeks and recently met with his agents to discuss a potential deal worth around £15 million. Sosa’s impressive performances at the Copa America have caught the attention of all parties involved, with everyone pushing for a move to the Premier League.
Talleres have also attracted interest from other English top-flight clubs and are willing to sell Sosa for the right price. Despite his team’s defeat, Sosa made an impact during his cameo appearance against Colombia by providing an assist. He then featured for 12 minutes in his team’s loss to Brazil.
At club level, Sosa has made 21 appearances this season, scoring seven goals and providing six assists. His performances have earned him a reputation as a highly-rated talent with immense potential. Leicester’s pursuit of Sosa comes at a time when they face the possibility of losing midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Dewsbury-Hall was on the verge of joining Brighton, but Chelsea have now hijacked the deal. Leicester values Dewsbury-Hall at approximately £35 million and are under pressure to sell him in order to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and avoid further breaches. The midfielder had even scheduled his medical with Brighton, as they had offered £25 million plus Poland international Jakub Moder.
The deal was progressing well enough for Moder to undergo his own medical tests at Leicester’s Seagrave training ground. However, Dewsbury-Hall has had a change of heart and decided to listen to Chelsea’s offer instead. This unexpected turn of events has left Leicester in a precarious situation as they navigate their financial responsibilities while potentially losing an important player.
