O Botafogo There are very advanced negotiations to hire Lucas Villalbaright wing of National-URU. Rayo gave an interview this Wednesday (10/12) on the program “All Ball“, from Uruguayan radio “Carve Deportiva“, and was asked about the arrangement, preferring to go off on a tangent.
– I’m not sure yet, my agents are taking care of that. I know there is interest, I heard that there is also interest from other places, but I don’t know yet. At this stage I have to stay calm and above all train and prepare for 2026. Wherever I am, I want to do well, correct the mistakes I made this year, maybe satisfy some old desires… I’m focused on this so that, wherever I am, I can have a good year – said Villalba.
The 24-year-old Uruguayan striker confided, however, that he has received many messages due to negotiations with Botafogo, but said that he has tried to stay away from the news a little:
– It arouses a lot of curiosity, because I also received several messages, so you end up having this desire, maybe it’s even dangerous to keep looking, sometimes you don’t find the best things, so I’m kind of struggling not to read anything yet. Until Nico, who is my representative, calls me, I won’t go into too much detail about this.
Villalba, who is a right winger with speed, a profile sought by Botafogo, said he can perform other functions on the field if necessary.
– I played on [Montevideo City] Torque as a 9, here at Nacional I also played a game against Cerro Largo at the beginning of the year as a 9. After that, I played a lot as a winger and, on very specific occasions, even as a right-back. First as a winger or an open midfielder. Afterwards, I played as a 9 in special circumstances and also as a winger – said the Uruguayan.
