Bombshell: River make first direct approach for Sebastián Villa | OneFootball

The "Millionaire" has the Colombian with a past in Boca on their radar. How are the negotiations going?

River wants to be a major player in the transfer market and has prepared a bombshell: they have made initial contact with former Boca player Sebastián Villa, a forward favored by Marcelo Gallardo.

The "Millionaire" club has had a first direct contact with the forward's camp and the player has shown willingness to talk, according to Doble Amarilla. It should be noted that Villa has no restrictions on playing for River despite his past with Boca, where he played between 2018 and 2023.

However, the main complication lies in the financial aspect: although they are currently far apart, the Colombian might prioritize the "Millionaire" over other offers from Brazilian clubs.

What Daniel Vila said about the possible departure of Sebastián Villa

The president of Independiente Rivadavia spoke about the forward's situation: "There are offers for the player. The transfer window is not open yet, but there are offers and advanced talks. We knew that Villa was going to leave. It's part of the commitment we made with him in July of this year. We committed to it and we will fulfill it, even though he has a contract until December 2027," he said in an interview with Radio Splendid.

"It will be good for him to leave Independiente, and it will be good for Independiente for Villa to leave," added Vila, who did not disclose the amount they are asking for the player due to "a negotiation matter." "Several clubs have called. I won't say who because it's a matter of confidentiality. I can't say yes or no. It's part of the negotiation," he concluded.
