After 29-year-old Colombian winger Sebastián Villa announced he will not continue at Independiente Rivadavia in 2026, he has attracted interest from several teams, including two major Brazilian clubs, Flamengo and Gremio. It has been reported that Flamengo sent an $8,000,000 proposal to Mendoza, though there has been no official confirmation of this. Gremio is also reportedly analyzing whether to submit an offer in the coming weeks. Within the Mendoza institution, it is said that the plan is to sell their star player for a sum around $15,000,000, and they would begin negotiations with interested clubs from that amount, as a lower figure would be insufficient for the club's finances. Villa joined the club in July 2024 and has earned 4 caps for the Colombian national team. His current market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
