Sebastián Villa leaves Independiente Rivadavia, thanks president | OneFootball

The Colombian forward posted a story on his Instagram account alongside Daniel Vila, president of the Mendoza team.

The Colombian forward Sebastián Villa said goodbye to Independiente Rivadavia through a story he posted on his Instagram account, in which he thanked president Daniel Vila for the “opportunity” he was given in Argentine football.

The 29-year-old winger, who won the Copa Argentina with the Lepra last November 5, wrote in his post: “Thank you, president, for everything. I will always carry you in my heart. I owe you this life and the next, you are my father.”

With ten goals in 60 matches, Villa, who joined the Mendoza side in July 2024, is not expected to continue at Independiente, even though he has a contract with the club until mid-2026, but he is likely to be transferred during this summer’s transfer window.

The Colombian was signed by the Mendoza team after his spell at Beroe in Bulgaria, where he arrived after leaving Boca amid legal troubles, as he faced two cases, one for gender-based violence—for which he has already served his sentence—and another for sexual abuse.

After being sidelined by Xeneize, he considered himself a free agent and left for Europe. In that context, the blue and gold team appealed to FIFA, which ruled in favor of the player and freed him from a hefty fine for breach of contract.

Regarding football, the Colombian managed to return to his best form under the guidance of Alfredo Berti and will not stay to play in the 2026 Copa Libertadores, but will seek a new destination.
