Initial rumors suggested that Vélez might be a potential destination for Rodrigo Villagra, but this did not happen. The speculation was based on early reports indicating a possible move to Vélez, but the transfer did not take place. After leaving River, Villagra was bought by the Grupo Foster Gillett for around 11.7 million dollars, which ended any prospects of him joining Vélez. Now, CSKA Moscow is appearing as a possible destination for Villagra, as the opportunity with Vélez has entirely vanished.
