Boca confirm Sebastián Villa’s return and reveal his arrival date | OneFootball

The unusual return of Sebastián Villa to Boca is now a fact confirmed by the club. The Colombian forward, who had left the club on bad terms after being convicted of gender-based violence, will undergo his medical this Monday to seal his controversial return.

The transfer window for the blue and gold institution has produced one of the most shocking stories of recent years. The board reached a multimillion-dollar agreement to bring the winger back, paying a fee of around 6.5 million dollars. In this way, the attacker will sign a contract that will tie him to the club for the next four seasons. That is, if he actually honors this new deal...

The player’s arrival creates a major shock both in the football structure and in the club’s institutional life. It is worth remembering that the Colombian left Boca by unilaterally terminating his contract, in an abrupt departure that came after his court conviction for gender-based violence. At the time, that off-field situation had left him out of the professional squad call-ups.

Sebastián Villa will wear the Boca shirt again.

Despite the complicated background, the club’s leadership will bet on him again to strengthen the team now managed by Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who agreed with his return to the club. This Monday, the footballer will undergo the required medical tests and, if he passes them, he will put pen to paper.

How Sebastián Villa’s return impacts Boca

From the highest levels of the club, they will have to come out and explain why, while being involved in legal disputes with a player, the decision was made to go after him once again. Most fans are demanding that Juan Román Riquelme speak out so they can know what will happen with the lawsuit the club filed in an effort to recover the money it lost because of him, while now it will pay a fortune for his transfer.

The biggest challenge behind closed doors will be absorbing the media impact and shielding the team from a move that has not gone unnoticed in public opinion. Now, time and the daily demands imposed by the Boca shirt will be in charge of determining whether this huge sporting gamble delivers the expected results, because for Riquelme the political cost could be very high.
