La Liga
The Getafe has contacted the representatives of Matías Viña, 28-year-old left-back, to request his loan transfer for a season in this summer market.
The Madrid-based club is negotiating the conditions of the loan with a purchase option with Flamengo, the owner of his rights, to interrupt the current loan of the player at River Plate, where he is valued at €3.50 million according to Transfermarkt.
Matías Viña's Situation Between Flamengo and River Plate
According to Globo.com, the player's agents see favorably his move to LaLiga due to his lack of minutes at River Plate, where he has only played 8 matches in the Torneo Apertura under Eduardo Coudet. The Uruguayan full-back joined the Argentine club earlier this year to compete for a spot against Marcos Acuña, but the lack of playing time accelerates his departure before the stipulated term.
Flamengo had requested River Plate to cover the player's full wages to terminate the loan early, but the lack of agreement between South American clubs opens the way for Getafe to cover those expenses in Spain. The defender has 44 caps and 1 goal with the Uruguayan national team, bringing international experience from his time in European football.
Competition from Olympiacos for the signing of the left-back
Getafe is not the only team interested in securing the loan of the Uruguayan full-back in this summer market. Olympiacos has also initiated talks to bring Viña as a replacement for Francisco Ortega, sparking a direct battle between Spanish and Greek football for the player's transfer.
The player's representatives await the official proposal from Madrid to start direct negotiations between clubs. Despite the Greek interest, the agents' preference is to finalize the deal with the "azulón" team to compete in LaLiga next season.
Getafe is expecting the final green light from Matías Viña's camp in the upcoming days of August. Once the player's consent is obtained, Getafe's management will initiate official talks with Flamengo and River Plate to formalize the loan with a purchase option before the start of the league competition.
