Ramón Sosa shines at Palmeiras, eyes redemption in 2026 | OneFootball

Ramón Sosa was one of the reinforcements for Palmeiras for the 2025 season and arrived in July, after the Club World Cup. He came to fill a gap in the squad left by the departure of Estêvão. With an investment of around R$ 80 million, the Paraguayan arrived with high expectations, had good moments wearing the Verdão jersey, but ended the year under scrutiny.

The 26-year-old athlete will report back with the rest of the squad at the Football Academy on January 4th. Thus, he will have his first full season at the club, where he seeks to establish himself. The athlete has a contract with Verdão until June 2030.

How was Sosa's start at Palmeiras?

Ramón Sosa had little playing time at Nottingham Forest when Palmeiras sought him out. When he arrived at Verdão, he had been almost two months without playing. The number 19 made his debut on July 16th, in a 1-1 draw with Mirassol, in the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, he came off the bench at the 30th minute of the second half, replacing Facundo Torres.

Right at the start, he embarked on a sequence of nine games, four of which as a starter. During this period, he contributed with two assists. His first goal was in the 4-1 victory over Fortaleza at Allianz Parque. Shortly after, Palmeiras found its ideal attack with Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Between September and November, he became a sort of 12th player and had his longest sequence of games (11), with only two as a starter. Sosa experienced highs and lows but scored two remarkable goals: the comeback goal in the 3-2 win over São Paulo and the first against LDU, which initiated the historic comeback to qualify for the Libertadores final.

Sosa played in the last five matches of the year, provided an assist in the 3-2 defeat to Grêmio, and scored one of the goals in the 3-1 victory over Ceará in the final round of the Brasileirão. He started as a starter in this last match where Abel decided to rest the regular starters.

In this last game, he even missed a clear chance to equalize while Verdão was losing and celebrated his goal by apologizing to the fans present at Arena Castelão.
