Sforza, who had a stint at Vasco da Gama, also stood out in the Argentine youth teams and played for Newell’s Old Boys. At the Rio club, the midfielder failed to establish himself, being a substitute for most of the last season behind Hugo Moura and Mateus Carvalho. In 2025, he only played five matches (two in the Brasileirão and three in the Carioca Championship) and was left out of several call-ups, regardless of the coach.

Signed in 2024 with high expectations after long negotiations with Newell’s Old Boys, Sforza cost about R$ 25 million and had a contract with Vasco until 2028. The management of the Rio club, along with the coaching staff of Fernando Diniz, decided that the player was not part of the plans, opting for the loan to Juventude.
