Sebastián Villa confirms he's leaving Independiente Rivadavia | OneFootball

Days after his farewell-like post with President Daniel Vila, Sebastián Villa finally confirmed that he is leaving Independiente Rivadavia. Despite having a contract until mid-2026 and the management's desire to retain him, he will no longer wear the leprosy jersey: “I leave with peace of mind, I gave everything for these colors.”

A star figure in the recent Copa Argentina victory (he scored the decisive penalty in the final against Argentinos Juniors), the Colombian winger bids farewell to the Mendoza club with a title under his belt, in addition to ten goals and 16 assists in 60 matches.

“There are cycles that come to an end,” he stated in an interview with Radio Nihuil. He was signed in July 2024 after his stint with Beroe in Bulgaria, where he arrived after leaving Boca amid legal issues, as he faced two cases, one for gender violence - for which he has already served his sentence - and another for sexual abuse.

After being sidelined by the Xeneize, he considered himself free and moved to Europe. In this context, the blue and gold team appealed to FIFA, which ruled in favor of the player and freed him from a million-dollar fine for breach of contract.

Regarding the future of his career, Villa admitted that he will analyze the proposals that come up and will accept the one that best suits his current team: “My agent will seek the best for both of us.”
