Sebastián Villa on future after failed River move: “Many calls” | OneFootball

Frustrated by the missed chance to play for River, despite having publicly expressed his desire to wear the red band and be coached by Marcelo Gallardo, Sebastián Villa continues to consider where to take the next big step in his career. From Medellín, the Colombian winger spoke again about his future and provided some details.

“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 said in an interview with Telemedellín, while attending the Baby Football children's championship, which is held annually in the city and where he stood out back in 2008 and 2009.

Although he did not specify which clubs are interested, it has recently emerged in Brazil that both Flamengo and Santos have him in their sights. In fact, he turned down a five-million-dollar offer to play with Neymar at Peixe because his dream was to strengthen the Millionaire and also because it was far from the 12 million that the Mendoza Lepra demands to open the exit door (he has a contract until December).

The only clear thing about Villa is the goal he has set for 2026: “To return to the Colombian National Team.” He knows that if he continues at this level in a more prominent team, he could receive a call from Néstor Lorenzo and fight for a spot on the World Cup roster.

Emboldened by his World Cup dream, the former Boca player gave a piece of advice to the younger ones: “The message is to keep fighting for your dream, that everything in life can be achieved and don't let anyone tell you that you can't make it.”
