Villa breaks silence after River, hints at Boca return | OneFootball

The Independiente Rivadavia forward spoke after his team’s draw against River in Mendoza.

The name Sebastián Villa once again took center stage in Argentine football, although not because of his performance against River Plate in Mendoza. In recent hours, rumors have grown about a possible return to Boca Juniors, and the striker himself addressed the topic after Independiente Rivadavia’s draw.

“I don’t talk about that,” he replied bluntly at first when asked about the possibility of returning to Xeneize. He then added: “Right now I’m 100% focused on Independiente Rivadavia, my agent takes care of those things.”

The Colombian attacker hinted that there is a promise of a sale from the Lepra mendocina management for the next transfer window. “I’m going to give my all for the club. Then we’ll see in the middle of the year what might happen,” he said, leaving the door open for a possible departure in June.

The rumors linking him again with Boca are related to the imminent departure of Lucas Blondel to Huracán, a move that would free up a spot to sign a player outside the regular transfer window of the Professional League.

However, from Independiente Rivadavia they assure that there have been no formal contacts from the management led by Juan Román Riquelme to negotiate for the forward. Meanwhile, Villa remains focused on the present of the Mendoza team, although the transfer market is already quietly starting to move.
