The name of Sebastián Villa is one of the most prominent in this transfer window. After a standout 2025 wearing the Independiente Rivadavia jersey, several clubs set their sights on the Colombian, and, according to various rumors, one of them would be none other than River.

In a recent interview for the Picado TV channel, the former Boca player publicly expressed his desire to join the Millonario. "I have seen the interest and my agent and I have made the decision. I told him yes, that I would like to play for River. It is my future and my family's, I want to keep growing".

"I am a very strong-minded guy. If Gallardo calls me, I will travel tomorrow, I do not have a problem. If I get this opportunity, I will make the most of it", he insisted with conviction.

The 29-year-old winger, a key figure for Independiente Rivadavia, champion of the Copa Argentina, has a promise of a transfer as he seeks a move that will boost him football-wise. In that sense, River also appears on his horizon as a path to return to the Colombia national team: "It is one of the goals that I have yet to achieve. I hope I can join River and be drafted. Why not fight for a spot in the World Cup?".

The statements drew attention not only for their forcefulness, but also for the contrast with recent remarks, when he had claimed to be "100% bostero" after eliminating River precisely in the semifinals of the last Copa Argentina.

For the moment, the outlook in Núñez is complex. The high financial demands of the club from Mendoza, Lepra mendocina, which are around 12 million dollars, his past at Boca and the legal cases hanging over the footballer, including a conviction for gender-based violence, are generating strong internal resistance.

Although his agent is Rodrigo Riep, the same representative as Juan Fernando Quintero and who has a good relationship with Marcelo Gallardo, River's institutional stance is clear for now: the transfer is not moving forward and only an unexpected twist could change the scenario.

Villa's numbers at Independiente Rivadavia

Since his arrival at the club from Mendoza in mid-2024, the Colombian has played 60 matches, in which he has scored 10 goals and provided 16 assists, and he has won one title: the 2025 Copa Argentina.
