The economic group led by Foster Gillett, who has invested heavily in Estudiantes de La Plata, has reached a preliminary agreement with River Plate to acquire the services of Rodrigo Villagra. The exact transfer fee has not been confirmed, but it is expected to be similar to what River Plate paid to Talleres in 2024. Rodrigo Villagra was not called up for the match against Instituto at the Monumental stadium.

Rodrigo Villagra is part of the main team at River Plate, and his future is uncertain as the club is open to negotiations to transfer him away.
