River unveil Matías Viña, Copa América winner and third signing | OneFootball

River has officially announced the arrival of Matías Viña, who has become the third signing for the Millonario in this transfer window, following the additions of Aníbal Moreno and Fausto Vera. The Uruguayan left-back comes after winning the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo. The 28-year-old footballer joins on loan until December 2026, with a fee of 500 thousand dollars and a mandatory purchase option of 5 million dollars for 100% of his rights. The presentation took place this Wednesday alongside president Stéfano Di Carlo and part of the club’s management.

Viña is already training with the squad and could make his debut in the preseason friendlies in Uruguay, against Millonarios and Peñarol. His arrival comes amid the physical discomfort that Marcos Acuña has been dealing with, providing an important alternative for the left-back position. With previous experience at Nacional, Palmeiras, Roma, and Flamengo, Viña brings international experience and a solid track record to a River team that is strengthening with high-profile names for the season.
