River Feminista Opposes Reported River Plate Move for Sebastián Villa

The club collective says his 2023 gender-violence conviction conflicts with River's gender protocols.

Overview

  • River Feminista issued an official statement rejecting media reports that link Sebastián Villa to a potential January signing by River Plate.
  • River has not announced any formal offer or agreement, with coverage describing Villa only as an option under consideration by Marcelo Gallardo and club leaders.
  • Remarks by Independiente Rivadavia president Daniel Vila hinting at possible talks intensified attention and drew quicker responses from internal social groups.
  • Villa received a two-year-and-one-month suspended sentence in June 2023 for injuries aggravated by the relationship and gender-based violence against an ex-partner.
  • The communiqué also notes another sexual-abuse case ended in a dismissal after the complainant withdrew, which the group says does not constitute a declaration of innocence.
