After links with Lucas Digne, Theo Hernandez and Sergiño Dest, as well as an attempted loan recall for Emerson Palmieri, all fell through, the Blues weren't able to land any new players.
As per football.london, Chelsea are continuing to pursue their interest in Sosa, and their scouts have been watching the youngster all season.
The European champions were linked with a £25 million move in January to snatch up the 24-year-old, but a deal never came into being.

He has also drawn several comparisons with David Beckham, thanks to his crossing abilities, as well as his hairstyle.
Since Chilwell has been out of action, the west London side have been forced to turn to Marcos Alonso as their go to left-back option, but Malang Sarr has featured in the position a lot too in recent weeks.
With Marcos Alonso attracting plenty of interest from the likes of Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, Tuchel is keen to bolster his strengths down the left flank.
