The Uruguayan full-back will be loaned for 12 months, with a mandatory purchase clause of 100% of the rights if he plays in at least 50% of the season's games.

Viña arrives after recovering from a severe knee injury that sidelined him for nine months. In 2025, he returned to play for Flamengo and ended the year with only 10 matches, being the third option in the position behind Ayrton Lucas and Alex Sandro.

The 28-year-old player will soon be available for River Plate's pre-season in San Martín de los Andes. The expectation is that he will gain momentum to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup with the Uruguayan national team.
