Sebastian Villa, from Independiente Rivadavia (ARG), is gaining value in the market

The year is coming to an end and it’s time for excitement in the transfer market. The Argentine press reported this week that Flamengo and Grêmio are trying to sign forward Sebastian Villa, from Independiente Rivadavia (ARG), who won the Argentine Cup this season.

Sebastian Villa is Colombian and 29 years old. The player appeared in 38 matches this year, scored six goals, and provided nine assists. The forward was a key player in the season’s biggest surprise, Rivadavia, who won the Argentine Cup and will compete in the Libertadores next year.

WHERE HAS VILLA PLAYED?

Besides Rivadavia, where he has played since last year, Villa began his career at Deportes Tolima (COL), then moved to Boca Juniors (ARG). There, he spent six seasons, even playing alongside Flamengo goalkeeper Agustín Rossi.

Before signing with Independiente Rivadavia (ARG) last season, Villa had a brief stint with Beroe, in Bulgaria. In summary, the athlete is a starter for the team and was on the field in their last match, on November 17, against Defensa y Justicia (ARG). The Flamengo target provided an assist.

HOW MUCH DOES VILLA COST?

According to Argentine journalist Fede Acosta, Flamengo has already made an offer of 8 million dollars (R$ 42.6 million) for Sebastian Villa. So far, there has been no response, according to the reporter. In addition, the player’s desire to play outside Argentina could be a point in Mengão’s favor in the negotiations.
