Club career

Sonne started playing football at the age of Ejby IF Fodbold, and later also played for Rishøj IF and HB Køge. [2] After being spotted by scouts on the app Tonsser, he was invited to club trials with Marseille and FC Copenhagen. [3] The French club wanted to see him again, but Sonne decided to stay in Denmark and signed a 18-month contract with FC Copenhagen in February 2018, where he played for the U19 and reserve teams. [4]

In June 2019, Sonne returned to HB Køge, where he signed a two-year professional deal with his former club. [5] Sonne played in Køge for two years, where he made a total of 34 appearances.

On 11 May 2021, Sonne was sold to newly promoted Danish Superliga team Silkeborg IF, signing a two-year deal. [6] Sonne made his official debut on 29 August 2021 against Randers FC in the Danish Superliga. [7] In December 2021, Sonne signed a contract extension until June 2026. [8]

Immediately, the FPF and manager Juan Reynoso Guzmán would begin talks with Sonne around May 2023 with the latter expressing interest in playing for Peru and began applying for Peruvian citizenship.
