Gonzalo Sebastián Sosa (born 5 March 2005) is an Argentine footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Racing.
Club career[edit]
Born in Buenos Aires, Sosa started his career with Boca Juniors.[1] After his parents no longer had the time or money to take him to Boca, he joined Defensa y Justicia, but this too was short-lived, and he joined Racing Club in exchange for ten footballs.[1]
He has been linked with a move to numerous top European clubs, with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain having been touted as potential suitors.[2][3][4][5] Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have also been linked with Sosa.[6][7]
Style of play[edit]
A fast-paced attacking midfielder, he has drawn comparisons with former Argentine international Juan Román Riquelme, with Sosa himself stating that he liked the former playmaker.[1][8]
