Everton have been in contact with CA Talleres winger Ramón Sosa and his representatives over a potential move this month.
That’s according to his agent Daniel Campos, via journalist Wilson González Bronce, who covers comments from the agent on contact with Everton this month.
Bronce covers Campos’ appearance on ABC Cardinal’s 730AM show today to discuss his client and a possible move in the January transfer window.
He first explain that LA Galaxy have submitted an offer worth $10m for the player, which Talleres rejected as they and the player ‘waiting for a better market and a better offer’ and aren’t ‘in a hurry’ to get it.
He then, according to Bronce, followed this up by explaining that he had recently made a trip to England and spoken to Everton.
“I was in England; I spoke with the sports director of Everton. There is no formal offer yet. We will see if we can move forward,” he is quoted as saying.
Now, crucially, ABC Cardinal did not share these quotes themselves, despite having shared the interview with Campos and his quotes on their own channels on X (formerly Twitter).
Instead, they simply quote him as confirming that there could be interest in the Premier League, without specifically mentioning Everton.
“Not only was there interest (from the Los Angeles Galaxy) but there was a formal offer that Talleres de Córdoba rejected,” he said.
“The club (Talleres) is clear that it wants to have the player this coming semester and wants a higher offer. We support that.
“More or less (Talleres asks for 15 million dollars), what they say is that. It is a question of work and patience. We are waiting to see if there is also a team in the Premier that is interested in him.
“He is a player who is in clear sporting development, in his best moment. There is no rush on either side. It is inevitable that the player will be sold, now or in six months.”
On the face of it, Everton targeting a right-winger makes sense as it is a particularly weak area of the squad at this moment in time.
But with Kevin Thelwell having made it clear there’s next to nothing to spend and it could be a quiet month, spending around £11.77m on a player who is 24 years old and with a record of 10 goals and seven assists in 35 games for Talleres seems unlikely.
Perhaps this is more a case of his agent shopping him around and hoping something sticks, but Ramón Sosa may be a name to keep an eye out for in the coming weeks.
