Matías Viña is set to depart from River Plate and return to Flamengo following a decision made by coach Eduardo Coudet. This move aligns with River Plate’s strategy for player exits as they prepare for the second half of the year.
Details of Matías Viña’s Departure
Viña, currently participating in the World Cup with the Uruguayan national team, will have his loan rescinded by River Plate. This decision was recently confirmed by journalist Hernán Castillo.

However, internal discussions at River suggest the formalities for rescinding his loan will occur soon.
