In the middle of zero to zero against San Lorenzo that little and nothing changes his erratic path in the local tournament at Estudiantes, Ricardo Zielinski has received good news of something he has been waiting for. La Plata management verbally agreed on the return of José Sosa, who had been released from Fenerbahce.
The 37-year-old player, who is training on his own in Buenos Aires, could be registered by Pincha in the Copa Libertadores if the Russian team beat Atlético Paranaense on Thursday (in Brazil they equaled 0-0) and went to the semi-final. But to be able to use it in the Professional League, you have to cancel an odds against the clock. It’s just that you will have until 8pm today. In the La Plata club they are already working to see if they get the necessary place to incorporate Sosa, who already has his contract agreed with the body until December 2023.

How could the students free up the fee to add the Little Prince? Negotiate a footballer on his team. The names that ring to emigrate are Franco Zapiola, Brian Orosco and Carlo Lattanzio.
In the last year Sosa hasn’t had a regular performance, quite the contrary. In Turkey he played a total of 27 games, including 18 as a starter. He did not convert any goals. If you count all his time at Fenerbahce, he has played 63 games (43 innings) and scored four goals.
Now he is one step away from returning to the club that saw him emerge. In his first stop at Estudiantes, Sosa amassed 154 introductions with 12 shouts. In that phase he won the 2006 Apertura at the hands of Diego Simeone. Then he was between 2009 and 2010, played 26 games and made five touchdowns.
