  • Brazilian club Internacional has signed Paraguayan forward Tonny Sanabria from Italian club Cremonese.
  • Sanabria agreed to a three-and-a-half-year contract, keeping him with Internacional until December 2029.
  • This signing fills a void for Internacional, which has lacked a central striker since the departure of Rafael Santos Borré.

Brazilian football club Internacional has secured the services of Paraguayan striker Tonny Sanabria, acquiring him from Italian side Cremonese. The Porto Alegre-based club announced the definitive transfer on Thursday, with Sanabria signing a contract that will keep him at the club until December 2029.

Internacional, who had been without a dedicated center forward since Colombian player Rafael Santos Borré left in July, sees Sanabria as the solution to their attacking needs. The 1.81-meter tall forward, born in San Lorenzo, Paraguay, will experience South American club football for the first time in his professional career.

The club has already registered Sanabria's contract with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), making him eligible to play in the upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro matches starting Saturday. Sanabria brings a wealth of European experience, having played for clubs like Barcelona B, Roma, Genoa, Real Betis, and Torino, accumulating over 200 appearances in Italy's top division and nearly 100 in Spain's La Liga. He was also the top scorer for Paraguay in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
