Sebastián Villa, a 29-year-old Colombian, is being linked with a transfer to River Plate. The "millionaires" have decided to sign the former Boca Juniors winger, who currently plays for Independiente Rivadavia. Villa has previously stated his intention to switch clubs in 2026, and it was initially believed that the attacker had reached an agreement with Flamengo. A potential transfer to River Plate is expected to cause tension, given the Colombian has played over a hundred games for their great rival from "La Bombonera". It is anticipated that clarity will soon be provided on whether the former Beroe player will join River Plate. Villa, who has been capped four times for his country, has a contract with his current club until June 30, 2026. His market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €6.00m. According to reports in December 2025, Independiente Rivadavia's asking price was between €12,000,000 and approximately €14,000,000. Flamengo had reportedly submitted an unconfirmed proposal of around €7,500,000.
