Independiente Rivadavia give Villa ultimatum over his future | OneFootball

The novel featuring Sebastián Villa as the protagonist adds a new chapter every day. After news broke on Sunday that Cruz Azul had opened talks to see if he wishes to play in Mexican football, this Monday, Independiente Rivadavia gave him an ultimatum that could determine his future.

Despite maintaining a close relationship with president Daniel Vila, with whom he agreed to leave during this transfer window in a deal that would be beneficial both sportingly for the Colombian winger and economically for the club, the truth is that the ball has already started rolling in Argentine football. No concrete exit proposal has arrived in Mendoza, and patience is starting to wear thin.

Villa has a contract until December 2026 but did not join the preseason nor was he considered for the debut of the Copa Argentina. After the curtain fell on last season, he decided to travel to his country (he was seen watching Baby Football tournaments in Antioquia) and stay there until he defines the next step in his career.

For coach Alfredo Berti, he is an irreplaceable piece in the attack and did everything possible to retain him. Since he is still under contract and there are no serious suitors in sight, the Mendocino Lepra sent him a notice: either he is sold this week for an amount close to what the club is asking (between 10 and 12 million dollars) or he must report to training starting next Monday and be available for the start of the Torneo Apertura.

The former Boca player wants to take a step in his career that brings him closer to the Colombian national team and allows him to fight for a spot on the final list for the World Cup. However, for now, the only clear thing about his situation is that his desire to play for River was thwarted due to "irreconcilable differences," as indicated by president Stefano Di Carlo, and he rejected a five-million-dollar offer from Neymar's Santos.

"We have many calls, we are on calls all day, so we are waiting for the best decision, the best offer, looking for a project," the forward assured days ago. In the meantime, rumors have emerged from Saudi Arabia and several from Brazil. But they are only inquiries that have not translated into formal negotiations.
