Boca Juniors, one of Argentina's most prestigious football clubs, has officially communicated they will not improve their proposal for Sebastián Villa after seeing their second verbal offer of just over $6 million rejected by the Mendoza club.
Independiente Rivadavia's position remains unequivocal: they will only consider offers matching the full release clause, estimated between $8-10 million according to various sources.
| Offer | Details | Result |
|---|---|---|
| First | $4 million + Marcelo Weigandt's rights | Rejected |
| Second | $6+ million (cash only) | Rejected |
| Release Clause | $8-10 million (varies by source) | Club's Demand |

The Colombian forward enjoyed a remarkable first stint at Boca Juniors from 2018 to 2023, establishing himself as a fan favorite:
During this period, Villa won seven titles with the blue and gold jersey, including domestic leagues and international cups.
While the Villa saga dominates headlines, the Mendoza club confirmed two departures:
The player terminated his contract and now owns his transfer rights. He arrived from Ecuadorian football and is now evaluating new opportunities.
Returned to River Plate, who own his registration rights, after completing his loan spell in Mendoza.
With these departures and uncertainty surrounding their star player, manager Alfredo Berti begins shaping the squad for the second half of the 2026 season.
Boca has announced they will not improve the offer, though football analysts suggest this could be a tactical move to pressure Independiente Rivadavia into lowering their demands. Club vice-president Juan Román Riquelme is personally negotiating the Colombian's return. Intense weeks lie ahead in the transfer market while the 2026 FIFA World Cup captures global football attention.
