River Opens Talks With Flamengo for Matías Viña on 12-Month Loan With Option to Buy

The move targets cover at left back after Milton Casco’s departure.

Overview

  • River has initiated formal contact with Flamengo for the Uruguayan defender, according to reporter Germán García Grova, with no agreement announced and a response from Brazil pending.
  • The proposal under discussion is a year-long loan that would include a purchase option.
  • Club leaders are pursuing the deal to bolster the left flank, where Marcos Acuña is the only established option following Casco’s exit.
