Borna Sosa Set to Join Crystal Palace in Major Summer Signing

Crystal Palace could sign Croatian left-back Borna Sosa soon. Both Sosa and Ajax have agreed on the move. Sosa can be Palace’s second summer signing after a medical in London.

According to a previous report, Crystal Palace finished 13th last Premier League season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 27-year-old Croatia international accepted personal terms with Crystal Palace in an advanced negotiation this weekend. The London club and Ajax have agreed on a €4 million transfer fee. Sosa will arrive in England for a medical on Monday. Minor contract details remain before the deal can be completed.

Ajax has recently agreed to sign Spanish winger Raúl Moro from Real Valladolid, indicating active transfer dealings. A previous report confirms this.

BORNA SOSA’S PROFILE AND PALACE’S PLANS

Sosa, a 26-cap Croatian international, was a 2022 World Cup hero who spent last season on loan to Torino from Ajax. He can be seen competing hard against Tyrick Mitchell for the left-back spot. Sosa, who graduated from Dinamo Zagreb’s academy, has fans around Europe for his attacking and crossing skills. Palace signed goalkeeper Walter Benitez this summer, and Sosa’s arrival shows the club’s drive to improve after finishing 12th in the Premier League last season.

Crystal Palace finished 12th in the Premier League in the 2024/25 season, enhancing their position relative to previous years. A previous report confirmed this information.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR PALACE?

Sosa’s medical is set for Monday, after which the club hopes to present him. Palace awaits UEFA’s verdict on their Europa League application after shareholder John Textor sold shares to Woody Johnson. But the team is busier with preseason training and the Premier League opener in August. Sosa can play this season’s opener, and his arrival is hoped to boost the team’s success this season.

With expectations high following their FA Cup success, which they achieved in the 2024/25 season as highlighted by a previous report, Palace is gearing up for a competitive season ahead.
