Gonzalo Ariel Sosa (born 4 January 1989) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a striker for Chilean club Deportes Limache.
Early career
Born in Santa Fe,[1] Sosa joined Unión de Santa Fe's youth system at the age of eight, from a local side named Club Escalante.[2] After leaving the club at the age of 19,[2] he made his senior debut with Primera B Metropolitana side Atlanta, after being promoted to the first team in June 2009.[3] However, he only signed his professional contract with the side in June 2010.[4]
After Atlanta's promotion from the third division, Sosa moved to Barracas Central also in that category in 2011,[2] and started to feature more regularly. In 2012, he joined fellow league team Colegiales, where he was deemed surplus to requirements in December of that year,[5] but later remained playing at the side.
After leaving Colegiales in June 2014,[6] Sosa played for a brief period for Sportivo Italiano[2] before agreeing to a contract with Torneo Federal A side Gimnasia y Esgrima de Concepción del Uruguay for the 2015 season.[7] After scoring in a regular basis for the side, he moved to Guaraní Antonio Franco in January 2016,[8] where he would play just eight matches before returning to Gimnasia on 8 August.[9]
In December 2025, Sosa signed with Deportes Limache.[10]
Magallanes
On 22 July 2017, Sosa moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing a contract with Primera B de Chile side Magallanes.[11][12] He was the club's top goalscorer in the 2017 Transición tournament with five goals, and scored a further ten times in the 2018 edition, again the best of his team.
Deportes Melipilla
On 28 December 2018, Sosa signed for fellow Chilean second division side Deportes Melipilla.[13][14] In the 2020 season, he was the division's top goalscorer with 17 goals, being a key unit as the club achieved promotion to the Chilean Primera División.[15]
Sosa continued his goalscoring form in the 2021 campaign, scoring 23 goals but being unable to prevent Melipilla's relegation.[2]
Mazatlán
On 23 December 2021, Sosa moved to Liga MX side Mazatlán, after rejecting offers from Chilean sides Colo-Colo and Universidad Católica.[16] Despite featuring regularly, he left the club on 26 December 2022.[17]
Audax Italiano
On 3 January 2023, Sosa returned to Chile and signed a contract with Audax Italiano.[18]
Palestino
In 2024, Sosa signed with Palestino.[19]
