👊Sebastián Villa responds to Atlético Nacional rumours | OneFootball

Colombian winger Sebastián Villa is once again at the center of media attention. After his controversial omission from Colombia’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup was confirmed, the current Independiente Rivadavia player surprised everyone by leaving open the possibility of wearing Atlético Nacional’s jersey.

A response that excites the fans

When asked on the program El Camerino DK about a hypothetical move to the Verdolaga side, the former Boca Juniors player did not shy away from the rumors and made a strong statement: "That should be discussed with my agent. Hopefully, before long, we can be there...". His stance immediately fueled speculation in the transfer market.

A financially complex signing

Despite the player’s hint, the deal looks extremely difficult given the financial reality of Colombian professional football. Villa is enjoying an excellent spell in Argentina, where he has recorded 3 goals and 8 assists in 20 matches, leading his club to the round of 16 of the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Both his high market value and his substantial salary represent almost insurmountable obstacles for the Antioquian club’s management.
