Getafe try to sign Flamengo's Matías Viña | OneFootball

Flamengo is willing to negotiate Matías Viña

Flamengo full-back Matías Viña has been sidelined by River Plate (ARG). That is because the Argentine club does not have the Uruguayan in its plans for the rest of the season. As a result, the player has come onto Getafe’s (ESP) radar.

According to journalist Germán García Grova, Getafe has opened talks to sign Matías Viña, Flamengo’s full-back. The Spanish club’s idea is to take the Uruguayan on a one-year loan, with an option to buy.

Is Matías Viña being targeted by another club?

Yes! In addition to Getafe, Olympiacos (GRE) is also keeping an eye on Matías Viña’s situation. Thus, the expectation is that the full-back will join a new club in this transfer window, since River Plate (ARG) no longer counts on the player.

Why does River Plate no longer count on Matías Viña?

The contract between Flamengo and River Plate included a mandatory purchase clause of 5 million dollars (R$ 27 million) if Viña played at least 50% of the matches. Therefore, to avoid the risk of reaching that mark, the Argentine club tried to send the full-back back.

However, Flamengo stated that it would only accept his return if the penalty stipulated in the contract was paid. In this way, River Plate ‘sidelined’ Matías Viña, who is training separately from the squad.

What are the Uruguayan’s numbers for Flamengo?

Flamengo paid around R$ 43 million to sign Viña from Roma (ITA) at the start of 2024, and he signed a contract until the end of 2028. However, in August of that same year, the player suffered a serious knee injury, was out for ten months, and lost his place in the squad.

In total, Viña has made 32 appearances for Flamengo, with one goal and two assists. In the meantime, the full-back won one Brazilian Championship, one Copa do Brasil, one Libertadores, one Brazilian Super Cup, and one Carioca Championship.
