Colombian forward Sebastián Villa has been linked to Atlético Nacional following a social media message from the club's midfielder, Jorman Campuzano. Campuzano publicly posted a message inviting Villa to come and fulfill his dream by wearing the Atlético Nacional jersey. These are rumors generated by this message, and the Atlético Nacional board has not made any moves on the matter as their priority is to hire a new coach. Villa is under contract with Independiente Rivadavia until December 2026 and, according to Transfermarkt, his current value is around 5 million euros.

Atlético Nacional has expressed interest in acquiring Sebastián Villa, who is currently with Independiente Rivadavia in Argentina. This interest originates from certain members of Atlético Nacional's board. Pilar Velásquez, speaking on the 'Clásico Paisa' program, indicated that opinions within the board are divided. Some board members reportedly consider Villa to be a talented player who would be beneficial to the team and are prepared to support him despite his previous controversies. Meanwhile, others on the board are against the idea of him joining the team. The situation is reminiscent of a previous case involving Alfredo Morelos, who, despite personal challenges, delivered strong performances for the team.
